Hi, First- there is a "Thread kit" to repair that common problem. Even VW cary this one. second- There is a very good "somewhat new" seal on the market that you can buy at any auto part, just ask for what they have for drain plug. I can send you a picture of this one if you want. Third- put some locktite overthere for now, i did that for a few 3000 miles oil change when i was...... far away from home. Use some flexible oil resistent silicone, it can be remove very easily. Cheers, Ben http://www3.sympatico.ca/huotx/engine1.htm |
