Fabia VRS Sump washer now made of steel

Followers

23 May, 201115 yr

Just bought a new sump nut with attached washer from my local (Falmouth) Skoda parts dealer, (as oil change now due).

It seems the copper washer has now been replaced by a steel washer.

Asked parts fellow (nice helpful sort) as to why the change, to which he replied it IS a alloy sump, so a steel washer will be OK.

I must add I did not change the sump plug nut with copper washer two years ago, and it didn't show any leakage, over 2 years..

Anyone with more than one car ?

Well strange predicament due to dads age and alzheimers diagnosis he shifted his car to me. Pretty damn nice car 1.8T DSG 2014 less than 20k, packed with as much as mine has and more besides like adaptive cruise, folding mirrors. Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco

The Elroq was only released in October in AU and we bought the first one from the dealer after driving a pre release vehicle back in July Wife's new Elroq 130 2 weeks old has an "interesting problem" Love the car but the Au importers appear to have stripped out some feature to maybe save a few $$(Of course not, would they?) We have a 13kw solar array currently and 20kw battery bank about to be installed however currently using the supplied 2.4kw wall charger 240VAC @10A The problem: We have be
