Subject:Oil drain plug now with heli-coil
From:Chris Radcliffe
Date:Sat, 9 Mar 2002 20:06:56 -0800

I'm a little bummed out... I now have a heli-coil where I didn't usta have
one, as a repair to an apparently "worn out" oil drain plug (hole).  This
was a "surprise" repair by a trusted mechanic.  It started leaking right
after he had it in for other repairs, and an oil change for convenience.

Is this that common among WBX? (This is my first.  Engine has less than 45K
orig miles, no idea how many prior oil changes, but how many could that
really be?).
