Hi,

 

Does anyone know the size/material for a new sump plug washer for my Rapid sport - it's the EA211/CJZD (I think!) later engine 1.2 turbo, 2016.

 

Thanks in advance!

A new sump plug is £2.

From... ?

Workshop manual says to just change the washer after the first oil change, but doesn't mention the size.

I have 2 cars that use that same sump seal, so I buy them 4 at a time any time I am running out and while ordering in other parts from CCP or any local VW Group dealership parts department.

 

Washer is N 0138157 (14 X 20)  Torque 30Nm            Plug without washer is  N902 889 01 (M14 X 1.5 X 16)                   

 

For many reasons I find having a spare plug is handy, especially if the plug falls into the oil basin!    

 

Also, these folded crush washers/seals cost mare than the old style "plug with flat washer".

 

Edit:- that plug is the correct part number for your EA211 CJZD engine - sealing washer is used with a few  other engines across the VW Group marques.

When I owned a Fiat the sump plug was tapered so it never required a washer. It never caused leaks but such a simple arrangement - don't know why more manufacturers did not follow.

Thanks folks, sorted now

Hum, I'm not too sure about that in a sump which is either just a thin sheet of steel with a threaded boss welded onto it or alloy casting,  okay in a heavy transmission block though, there are enough "mechanics" swinging on a spanner tightening these  parallel threaded sump plugs that have a seal on them without  doing even more on a taper thread.
