That is a 17mm hex head nut. What you need is a 17mm allen wrench, which, believe it or not, they sell at Sears as a VW Transmission Drain Plug Wrench. BTW, be *damn* sure that you take off the filler nut before you take out the drain. _________________________________________________________ Bob O'Shaughnessy, Columbus, OH vanagon@columbus.rr.com 99 A3 Jetta TDI 85GL with basic Westy interior 74 Bus (Dad's) 72 Wife, 94 Rabbit, 95 Cat, 96 cat, 98 Kid 52 House |
