VW Golf 7 / 7.5 GTI R, Audi A3 / S3 8V, SEAT Leon MK3 & Skoda Octavia 3 Magnetic Engine Oil Sump Drain Plug for Early EA888.3 (2013 - 2015)

Upgrade your routine oil maintenance with this premium magnetic engine oil sump drain plug, precision machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminium and engineered specifically for the early EA888.3 engine sump. Featuring a powerful neodymium magnet that captures harmful metal impurities suspended in your engine oil, this drain plug protects your engine from premature wear by trapping ferrous debris before it can recirculate through critical lubrication points. The external hex head design simplifies oil changes by enabling effortless removal with standard tools, while the upgraded FKM O-ring delivers superior heat and corrosion resistance compared to standard NBR seals — preventing oil leaks at the sump interface even under sustained engine operating temperatures. A secure POM retaining clip ensures consistent, leak-free fitment with every oil service interval.

Features:

• Easy maintenance design – 6061-T6 billet aluminium drain screw with external hex head for effortless removal during oil changes, simplifying every service interval
• Powerful neodymium magnet – withstands sustained temperatures up to 120°C and captures metal impurities suspended in engine oil, guarding against premature engine wear and resisting demagnetization
• Leak-proof FKM O-ring – upgraded fluoroelastomer O-ring resists heat and corrosion significantly better than standard NBR rubber, preventing oil leaks from the engine oil sump
• Secure POM retaining clip – polyoxymethylene retaining clip ensures simple, secure fitment every time the drain plug is serviced
• Precision-machined fitment – engineered specifically for the early EA888.3 engine sump for direct OE-replacement compatibility

Contents:

• 1x Magnetic Engine Oil Sump Drain Plug (with FKM O-Ring & POM Retaining Clip)

Benefits:

• 6061-T6 billet aluminium construction delivers superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to standard steel drain plugs while reducing weight
• Powerful neodymium magnet actively captures ferrous metal particles produced through normal engine wear, preventing them from recirculating through bearings, oil pump components, and critical lubrication passages
• FKM fluoroelastomer O-ring maintains seal integrity at sustained engine operating temperatures where standard NBR rubber seals begin to harden, crack, and leak
• External hex head design enables faster, cleaner oil change service compared to traditional internal-drive drain plugs
• POM retaining clip provides repeatable, secure fitment that protects against accidental loosening from engine vibration over extended service intervals
• Visible captured debris on the magnet during oil changes provides a useful indicator of engine wear conditions, helping identify potential issues before they become major problems

Installation Notes:

• Fitment verification required – confirm your factory drain screw part number is 06L103801 before ordering, as this plug is only compatible with the early EA888.3 engine sump (factory part number 06K 103 600 R)
• Always replace the FKM O-ring at every oil change service to maintain leak-proof sealing performance
• Tighten to manufacturer-specified torque values – do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the aluminium plug threads or distort the O-ring seal
• Clean the magnet thoroughly at every oil change service to remove captured ferrous debris before reinstallation
• Ensure the engine sump mating surface is clean and free of debris before installing the drain plug to maintain a proper seal
• Professional installation recommended if you are unfamiliar with engine oil service procedures or torque specifications
• If unsure about compatibility with your specific engine variant or sump configuration, contact our team with your year, model, engine code, and factory drain plug part number before ordering

Warranty:

• 12-month standard warranty from date of purchase
• Contact our support team for assistance with any issues
