Troubleshooting

Sump plug does not screw in smoothly

Ensure the thread size (M18 x 1.5) matches the oil sump's thread. Check for any damage or debris in the oil sump's thread. Do not force the plug; if it doesn't thread easily, stop and re-verify compatibility.

Oil leak detected after installation

Verify the seal ring is present and correctly seated. Ensure the sump plug is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. If the leak persists, the oil sump threads may be damaged, or the plug may not be the correct part.

Difficulty removing the old sump plug

Use a penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak. Ensure the correct size spanner (13 mm) is used to avoid rounding the plug head. If severely seized, professional assistance may be required.
