The primary purpose of the ELRING Sealing Plug 821.290 is to securely seal the oil sump drain hole, preventing engine oil from leaking out of the vehicle.
Yes, this ELRING sealing plug is supplied with a seal ring to ensure a complete and effective seal upon installation.
This plug is compatible with a wide range of vehicle models from OPEL, FORD, FIAT, PEUGEOT, TOYOTA, CITROËN, VAUXHALL, and DS.
It is strongly recommended to always replace the sealing plug and its seal ring whenever the oil is changed or the plug is removed. Reusing an old plug or seal may lead to leaks.
You must tighten the plug to the specific torque value recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Over-tightening can cause damage, while under-tightening can lead to leaks.
Overtightening can strip the threads in the oil sump or damage the plug itself, potentially leading to costly repairs and oil leaks.
Torque specifications can usually be found in your vehicle's owner's manual, a service manual, or by consulting a trusted automotive parts supplier or mechanic.
Check that the plug was tightened to the correct torque specification. Ensure the sealing surface on the oil sump is clean and undamaged. The seal ring may need re-seating or the plug may need replacement if damaged during installation.
Verify you have the correct plug for your vehicle. Ensure the oil sump threads are clean and not cross-threaded. A slight twist while applying pressure may help if it's a tight fit, but do not force it.
This usually results from overtightening or cross-threading. The oil sump may require professional repair (e.g., thread repair kit or replacement) if threads are damaged.
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, confirm that part number `821.290` is listed as compatible with your specific vehicle's year, make, and model. Consult your vehicle's service manual or an authorized parts database.

Care:
This is a one-time use component. Once removed, it should be replaced. No routine care is required for the plug itself beyond ensuring it is correctly installed. Regular checks of your oil level and for any signs of leaks around the oil sump area are recommended.
