Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification:
Before installation, carefully check if your vehicle's manufacturing date falls within the specified limits (up to 12/1996 and 12/1980). Cross-reference your vehicle's VIN and engine number with the compatibility list for models such as VW Transporter IV Bus, GOLF III, SHARAN, PASSAT, Audi A4 Limousine, A6 Avant, and 80 Limousine. This plug is suitable for both automatic and manual transmissions.
Installation:
- Ensure the oil sump thread is clean and free of debris.
- Place the included seal ring onto the drain plug.
- Carefully thread the drain plug into the oil sump by hand to avoid cross-threading.
- Use a 17mm spanner to tighten the plug securely. Do not overtighten.
Care:
This part is designed for a single-use in terms of sealing efficiency during oil changes. It is recommended to replace the drain plug and seal ring with every oil change to ensure optimal sealing and prevent leaks. Inspect the plug for any signs of damage before installation. Clean the area around the drain plug hole before removing the old plug.
