Re: transmission drain plug dilemma

[BFDEIHL@aol.com]

That's a new one on me... never encountered a different sized FILL plug. 
However, it is somewhat of a blessing, as VW screwed up on where they put the 
filler on the 020, and if you fill it THERE, your tranny will be low on fluid.

Best thing to do is remove your speedo cable, and using a long funnel, fill 
the tranny with the required 2.1 qts....

 Bought a 17mm hex bit to change the transmission oil and got as far as 
 draining the oil and replacing the drain plug.  Moving on to refill with new 
 oil, I can't get the second plug out.  Seems that the hex bit is much looser 
 in the refill plug than it is in the drain plug.  Is it at all possible that 
 I have two different size plugs in my transmission?  Is there such a thing 
 as an 18mm plug? >>
