Hex Socket Size For Fill And Drain Bungs

[Jeff115]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know the correct hex socket size (or if/where on TIS) for the drain and fill bungs on the 6-speed manual transmission?

 

Unforutnately I elected for 12mm and 17mm at Halfords which are wrong (following inspection in the rain/dark on Thurs :D ) so will have to exchange.

 

Looks like a 13mm/14mm hex?

TIA,

Jeff.

You can buy a whole set from machine mart for about a

yes, Charlie, unfortunately Halfords and another large motor factors that I checked had only single hex sockets :D hence I got the 12 and 17mm sizes.

 

I got caught out today also on the 18mm ARB drop link bolt - I had two socket sets with 17m and 19mm :( but not the non-standard VW 18mm size.

 

and yes I did see seatkids post where he mentioned the ARB drop link 18mm bolt size - brain must be getting slow :D

 

VW seem to favour hex, torx and non-standard sizes..

Later,

Jeff.

They do seem to have a lot of weird sizes and torx. Oh well good luck mate :(
