Does anyone know of the size of the washer on the high oil pressure relief valve screw on a 1.9 watercooled dg engine?
I have an oil leak there and want to buy a new washer in advance so that it's a case of "off and on" rather than removing the old one and trawl the shops.
Thanks

Aiden, I've just had a flashback. I put in a secondhand sprin/plunger and washer supplied from elite.
I seem to remember the washer being a fair size-20mm+? it is the relief valve underneath the engine next to the sump plug. It has a large slot in the head of the screw as opposed to a hex head. what do you think?

sorry my mistake, didn't read the relief bit, just the high pressure so thought it was the sender.
the washer for the big screw is N 013 829 3 23x29mm 83p plus vat from vw

bought and fitted the washer . Apparently, it's the same washer for the sump plug for the T4 so local VW agent still stock it.
