I had gotten an oil change at a local service station around 3,000 miles ago.
I went back to the same station for another oil change. The orginal mechanic
was not their and a new guy found that the drain plug was stripped from the
last oil change. I was really pissed, a simple screw up (excuse the pun)
that's making my Westy very unhappy and not to mention how I wanted to take
that bolt, and screw it up the mgr A-- H---.!
        The mechanic had to put in a special self tapping bolt in it's place.
A few days later, and the only VW I ever owned that never leaked, was now
dripping fresh oil from the bolt. (It does make it easy to find ones way
home.)
        My question to those who know? Was this the correct measure to take
installing a self tapping bolt. Does this hole have to be retap and threaded?
Thanks for some imput.
