What Tool

[andy936]

Hi all

Im about to change gear oil but hit a little hurdle by coming across the drain and filler plugs are splined(torx)

with a little metal 'nipple' in the middle like a anti tamper bolt -my car is a 52 plate 6 speed tdi

Does any one know where i can get 1 from and a part number for it.

:(

Dont want to modify plug ie bash it with a hammer!!

Why are you changing it? dont think its listed as a service thing anyway, many car gearboxes dont have a drain plug.

ive a few gear box issues and want to inspect oil before i get it into the garage on ramps-vw box has a fill and drain point -when its stopped raining tom ill take a pic and post what im talking about

ford and vw parts counters only order tools for thier technicians so id have to wait as they bulk order!

 

if its a torx fit what number is it ie 60?

and id modify it on a lathe at work to take the metal nipple in the middle!
