Your local auto parts store should be able to get you a 14X1.5 drain plug
and gasket. Oil-Tite, (Dorman) has a number of options including a magnet.
Consider a fiber, nylon, or crush gasket instead of the VW copper. Sela
better at less torque.

Subject: Vanagon Diesel oil pan drain plug needed

Hi Volks,

When I was collecting parts for my engine conversion I lucked upon an NOS
diesel oil pan, and snapped it up. Unfortunately, it did not include the
drain plug, which is not just a simple bolt.

Anyone out there have a spare oil pan that they want to sell the plug from?
Local dealer says they are NLA in Canada, and suggested I call a VW dealer
in Santa Monica CA.

Part number is 068 103 193A.

Happy Trails,
