Sump washer/seal...where to buy

[sternal]

...Where does one purchase one ? No one seems to sell one for a 1.6 diesel !

any idea of size ?

Sorry, I don't know about Diesels, but most/all motor parts places stock them (as of course you are supposed to use a new one every time). I know the WBX one is 14mm. They are cheap (pennies) so you could buy a small selection around that size.

Hang on, found this for you = http://archive.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic ... 604465ef35" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

E D I T = And here they are (for the "washer" type plug) at Brickwerks = http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php/s ... -d-td.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

10 seconds to anneal yours for re-use - why do you need a new one?

hows this done ?

Heat to cherry red and allow to cool - softens the copper. A lot that you buy are harder than they should be as they are stamped out which hardens them a little.

It's just a M14 copper washer.
Same as everything else, 1.9l and 2.1l WBX
All the Diesels are the same except for the ones with the valve type sump plug.

Washer [so long as it hasn't been drilled and tapped to a bigger size]

Valve type sump plug for *some* Diesels
