    Noob question: How come this magnetic plug can be re-used when the OEM plugs are replaced at every oil change?

      You don't replace the plug, you (in theory) replace the crush washer. These come with 10 washers.

        Is this the plug on the pan or on the filter housing?

            For what it's worth, the plug is on the pan. And you should absolutely replace the filter every oil change.

              Haha, yeah of course. I had thought that all the oil drains from the filter housing and that was the only plug. I then realised that most of the oil drains from the sump and that's the plug we're talking about

                Ive got one of these ECS magnetic sump plugs on my R and also on the GTI - they are good. They come with a 10x pack of copper washers.

                  Yep, that's the one. I had one on my Bora when I had it, as did several friends.

                      That eBay listing has ended does anyone know where else to get them? I lookedon ECS website in the U.S. but at $46 to post a $11 plug that was a little expensive��

                          I do magnetic sump plugs as well, for $30 posted. They have a very strong and much longer magnet.

                            If it doesn't have to have ECS on the end there are heaps on ebay starting at $3.59 posted from HK or $8.95 from a local vendor. The thread is M14x1.5.

                            You'll achieve a similar result putting a rare earth magnet on the side of the oil filter.

                              Unless that magnet would be a permanent fitment, I'd be very cautious doing it.
