Wading plug's ?

<< < (2/2)

nat_hale:
I thought it was the bell-housing one you could leave in, and the timing case one needed to be removed as soon as you finished playing?? I'm sure I read somewhere that the gearbox/bell-housing one could be simply removed at each service to let any excess oil drain??

Could be wrong tho.... someone please correct me if so, because I've just got some plugs too!!!

Cheers,
Nat

clbarclay:
Its always best (or safest) to have both out when not needed, for example if an oil seel failed with the plugs left in it will ruin either the clutch friction plate or timing belt. Is this a risk your willing to take?

Plus if a seel failed you would notice it quicker (when SWMBO complains about the quantity of oil on the drive) if the oil can drop on the floor below the car rather than be collected out of sight.
