No Mess 8)

Excellent: it is in the commons threads section

worst job is the rear sedimentor on the Tdi - I refuse to break the little plastic tap, so use a 11mm spanner and take the complete bowl off for a good clean out.

I did this yesterday and got the diesel running down my arm onto my chest!!!

You remind me that it is a few years since I did this. 8O

I have a replacement tap some where?

the thread is 5/16 UNC. I replaced mine with a stainless socket head cap screw I had sitting on the shelf (it was supposed to be for the extractors on the race car...)

Hey guys - has anyone had any experience with those cool looking oil drain gizmos? Can they get trashed if you are in the muck off road?

What are they worth?

Cheers,
