Thread: is this correct

If it is only an O ring then you can buy them in any size in about 4 different materials for different uses so I doubt you would have to change the whole thing.

But in saying that, I have never seen one so I cant really say as it may have a lip seal which does need to be changed each time you disturb it so could be true but it is a strange thing to have to change each service as they arnt really a wearing part unless you use the wrong tool to remove it like a chisle or a shifter.

I've re-used tha same sump plug for over 10 years on my TDi300, but I get a new copper washer every 2nd change. No rubber o-rings used at all.

Can't see the point of replacing it if the threads are not stripped or anything.

cant imagine a manufacturer making you replace the plug everytime, the cost would be phenominal, also if you were using a magnetic one you wouldn't be throwing them away everytime.

It does say D3 and RRS so it doesnt surprise me.

Yes Guys,
U did read right. The service schedule on a D3/Sport is to replace the sump plug/washer as they are a single unit with the "O"ring being part of the plug.!!
They are also not that expensive, I didnt see the price being asked, but as said not that dear.

Cheeers

try a search,, I seem to remember Big Jon (or Jamo) saying he could get the o ring separate----
