Need a new sump plug

[Newbington]

Hey guys,

Gave the car a good service today, unfortunately after being a left for a few hours it seems my car wet itself and is leaking oil from the sump plug.

Not sure whether its not tightened enough or the washer is fucked or whatever

But does anyone know where I can pick up a new plug and washer? Its for a mk2 ph1 1.2 8v

Cheers

Any local motor factors will stock them. Only be couple quid.

Yup as above. Did you not replace the washer at all?

 

[Newbington]

Totally skipped my mind! Found a new plug and washer on ebay for 3.29 or something though so not a problem thankfully!

you need to change the washer when you do an oil change. please remember this in future lol

 

[Newbington]

Haha thanks, I'll bear that in mind!

If you buy genuine parts, it normally comes in the box.

Hi guys, got the sump plug and washers last night.

it came with 2 washers, a copper one and a steel one with a rubber seal, which one should I use?

Cheers

Is your sump cast aluminium or pressed steel? If its cast ally use the steel/rubber unit and the copper washer if not.
