What size is the washer on my sump plug?

[eltax91]

Hi all, I have MY2000 Octavia TDi SLX (110). I have been changing the oil myself for about half a dozen services now. I bought a new plug the first time which came with the washer.

Next time I'm going to change the washer as it's started to leak a couple of drops a night onto the drive. I don't see the point in changing the plug as it;s fine, so anyone know from the top of their head what size washer I need?

Just had a peek on ETOS, they no longer list the washer separately

Go into GSF or ECP and I'm certain they'll have a bin full of them for pennies.

Are you being serious? A new plugs about a quid!

Really? Last time it cost me about 7 or 8 quid, hence not even considering it!!

You can get a really nice ECS magnetic sump plug from Awesome, comes with 10 spare copper washers and costs about £12 inc VAT

( The magnetic insert attracts any ferrous material in the oil and 'captures' it to save it clogging the filter )
