Wanted: New drain plug(s)

Post by Philip Chidlow »

For my GTi's automatic gearbox. Prior to my ownership, previous work has seen the old one's badly rounded off and not easy to undo... at all.

Readily available from ZF for not a lot at all.
I think the last lot I got were about £3 for a pair.
As an aside, you can also get them from a commercial Volvo truck dealers, since Volvo use ZF front hubs on B10M, B10BLE and early B7TL buses, that have the exact same plug.

The reason they are always mullered is that the hex size is 5.5mm, and most allen keys / sockets are 5mm, hence since they are made of cheese and few people have the right tool, they get mullered...
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
