Sump Plug size? What is it? Getting different answers...
« on: 27 March 2012, 20:23 »
I'm about to buy a magnetic sump plug to prolong the life of my 140k 1.8T, but some places say its M26x1.5 and some say M14x1.5

M26 http://shop.motorsport-developments.co.uk/engine-products-240-c.asp

M14 http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_IV--1.8T/Search/MAGNETIC/ES5386/

Which is it? for a 99 1.8T

100% sure?

It should be M14, cos doesnt the 14 mean its 14mm? It cant be 26mm as the bolt is a 19mm bolt to undo it isn't it?

36mm really? I know some oil filter housings on other models are 36mm but surely not for the sump plug?
