Subject: broken sump plug! Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:43 am

rite the reason my sump plug wont tighten properly is coz ive snaped part of it in the thread whole! ive searched the net for answers and found a dude with an e46 that had done exactly what i done, he managed to get the broken part out with a bolt extractor as its a hollow bolt, ive found these , are they the sort of thing i need to get the remeinding bolt out?? thank you

dunno, but to save buying a new sump plug, just stick a spark plug in there Smile

plugging it up isnt the problem, removing the broken one is!!! its in there know and its holding, just lil drips bt it needs doing properly
