Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / September 2006Oil filter drain screw 95 VR6
I had the oil changed about a month ago. I saw some driveway spotting. The oil is clean, so it was not initially obvious. Looking under the car, I see a hole in the bottom of the filter cap. I was thinking there was a drain bolt that should go in the hole in that round metal insert that is inset into the black plastic. Do I remember correctly? And if I remember correctly, why is the oil not coming out faster? should be a 6mm aluminum plug. Who did the oil change? >I had the oil changed about a month ago. I saw some driveway > spotting.

After I bought the screw for $15 (actually a pretty fancy thing) and thought it over, I now think that it's there, and something just needs tightening. I was planning to get under the car as soon as I was past a sore throat. Or else I will take it back. I was confusing the allen head socket for a screw hole with a missing screw. I did not inspect carefully enough obviously. So that explains why I was/am not losing oil at a rapid rate. >> Walmart, destroying one VW at a time! >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >>> >>> Thanks. |
