Similar, but my Difflock one is brass. HERE
They seem very expensive these days. I got the pipe with mine. You can't use it without the pipe really.

Would anyone know the diameter of the 300tdi's sump plug? I ran out of my stock of sump plug washers and stupidly forgot the diameter.

Just heat the one you have cherry red, let it air cool and reuse, been using the same one for about 6 years and that's one of the things that doesn't leak from the engine!

If you want to go all out and there is a big ridge on the washer, file it down and then cross hatch.

It is a pain in the butt this is my only oil leak (at the moment) where it drips, blown back into bell housing ending up with two drips every stop!!

With my 300TDI you just undo the sump-plug whilst holding the bucket at the correct knowledgeable position........then sigh as the warm black stream hits the anti-roll bar cock-on and fans everywhere, I never learn!
