111 301 127 E ?

M24x1.5

Yep. As Mike says,
111 301 127 E, now listed as WHT 001 937 and £2.10 inc. VAT each.
M24x1.5

It's not hard to find, so I should give that TPS the sack.

I got some new ones some time ago. They are the same as the gearbox plugs.

the newer part number ones you need a special VAG tool to use them, you can't use a normal hex like the original ones

[4WheelDrifter]

I'll have to check back through my records. I got some original type plugs from Ben. But that was probably about 3 or 4 years ago now.

Thanks guys most helpful as usual on this brilliant forum is it poss to get this vag tool?

[Error404]

VAG tools are tricky to get hold of, easiest way is get matey with the parts dept guys at the dealer
(quite likely this will happen anyway if you own an S2 anyway )
Or you could get a machine shop to modify a normal hex key for you - its basically got a hole drilled in it, like a security fixing - but I've never seen one for sale "off-the-shelf". HTH

EDIT: Like this, but a 17mm hex and a bigger hole

a question about diffs but its abit strange
how could you put diff cooler on
do you use the existing drain points and top up points

its not for a audi but for my pikes peak replica
which is in the planning stages

Earls have the M22 fittings to -6An on the shelf there about £25+vat iirc

then your need a electric oil pump...... Only worth doing if your up grading the diff as standard diffs are cheap enough to find. Unless you have some exotic parts i would not bother.

Kind of like this but of course with the fittings you need for which ever diff housing your using and length of hose will also change

I'm working on a diff oil cooler set-up for my rear TORsen at the moment - I'm going to machine the diff housing for the take-off though as I'm worried about a fitting coming out the bottom getting damaged on the road and loosing the diff oil very very quickly!

[terrybullwon]

Yeah thats the best option Alex theres a photo of a audi sport with diff cooler fittings kicking about some where.

i should also add that its not for a audi but the should be about 400bhp
and its for my suzuki escudo (currently planning stages)
