Hey great ideas all,

....using a double nut 17mm, loosen the fill plug first....
That's what i call usefull advise.
The term allen wrench came across this NG many times but i never knew what
it was.... until now (altavista could not cover that one)

Thanks all!

Roger

It's talked about on this site:

<http://sandlizrd.baja.com/magicstf.htm>

Hey, it's even a VW site... and he's actually talking about the drain
and fill plugs on the tranny... How appropriate!

Time to drop altavista (total crap) for Google if you actually want to
find anything!

For this NG i use Outlook Express to visit,
i use google indeed... to search
i used this link to translate.
http://babelfish.altavista.com/

But the translation is a total crap too...

Thanx for all the help
Roger
