These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unscrewed both the drain and fill plug today but noticed no gasket or crush washer. Is there supposed to be one? I could not find any parts numbers at Pelican or elsewhere. I also read that one could use the oil drain plug washer? The drain plug was a 10mm hex btw.

POST 2Original post

I just changed mine last week and there were no washers.

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 15201670

Done this many times....there is no washer...

POST 5Original post

Did mine a few weeks ago and yes, there is a washer. Porsche part # 900.123.118.30. '04 C2

POST 6Original post

Not sure if it's year dependent but there are no washers on both my '02 and '03.

POST 7Original post

Did mine a couple of weeks ago. '00 C4 ME, and fill plug has no crush washer like the drain plug has.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 15203055

Same here on my '99 a few weeks ago. I used a new washer.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Pelican lists a washer but I did not order one. Just used the same fill and drain plugs and tightened until they won't tighten anymore. No leaks.

POST 10Original post

When I did front diff and tranny there was a washer. May have been put there by previous mechanic. Seems like it took one similar to oil drain plug.

I guess tightening it to proper torque (20 ft-lb.) would be the right thing to do. Over torquing the plug could induce stresses in the casing that could cause damage later on. Also, plug seemed like a harder material, so the internal threads of the casing could start yielding if you go over the limit.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
