What type of spanner or tool do I need to undo sump plug on a MK4 VW Golf?
I saw someone undo their sump plug with some sort of wrench thing…. a dull silver tool…. a socket for the plug with and a long handle, like and upside-down L. Also, don’t you have to press in a little as you undo the sump plug to stop a flow out of old oil, until thread is nearly out and plug is ready to be removed entirely? I know most of the other stuff like using a new sump plug/washer when putting it back and not over-tightening it. Thanks. A: Not sure on the plug, but it could either be a spanner, socket or allenkey. and just have a drainer or container under as you undo the plug as the oil will leak the further out the plug gets. Don’t forget to change the filter, and before you ask there are many ways of removing it, but the cheapest is to put a screwdriver through it!!
