Default Re: Sump plug

I was going to start a new thread but thought I'd tag onto this one.

Is the MB TDCi sump plug meant to have a washer?

The first time I changed the oil myself, I noted that it did not have a washer and assumed it was meant to be that way. It was almost oil tight, but was leaking a decent amount of oil at the last oil change. The Haynes manual shows a copper washer on the plug, so I went to the dealer and they sold me the same washer.

I even dusted off the torque wrench to tighten the sump plug!
