Hello,

I had a helicoil installed in 87 put in wrong leaks, mentioned this in the
past.  I called the VW dealer to get the size of the drain plug so I can find
a replacement.  Dealer  says it's  14 X 125 thread pitch 13 mm.  I'm thinking
this is the OEM drain plug and that the helicoil necessitated a new larger
drain plug with a different thread pitch.  Do I have to pull out the newer
(helicoil) drain plug and have someone idenify the pitch for me.  Excuse my
ignorance but I don't change my own oil and this would be pain.  I'd rather
just give the mechanic  a differnt drain plug and have him install it. Of
course it would have to be the correct size.
Thanks in advance
