Product Overview

Ensure a leak-free oil change with this premium VIKA Engine Oil Sump Screw Plug.

Designed specifically for modern Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) vehicles equipped with high-tech composite plastic oil pans, this specialized plastic drain plug is a critical service component. Unlike traditional metal plugs, these polymer plugs are engineered with a specific torque-stop and an integrated sealing ring. They are highly prone to heat cycling degradation, distortion, and locking-tab wear. VAG explicitly recommends replacing this plug with every single oil change to prevent catastrophic oil loss and undertray leaks.
