Crushable washer?

so gonna do an oil change and need a crushable washer i have a little nut n bolt shop near work, can some one tell me a size and or what one looks like.

thanks!

 

Alternatively, go on ebay and buy a box of assorted copper washers.

 

I have a type 4 and can never seem to get the correct size via sites, so I took the old washer/sump nut, to the local car spares shop and they had a fast selection of sump washers, (copper that crushes on tightening and seals) Get a few while your there.

 

Thanks guys was going to do it tonight and can only nip out lunchtime... as in london bugger all here.

 

RE -anneal & re use the old one ;o)

Heat up to cherry red with a blow torch & drop in a bucket of water.
You'll get a few uses before it becomes too thin and squished to use any more.

 

Think I might have one @S1mon will have a look

 

For which engine?

I thought the washer is usually included with the oil strainer gasket set?

 

oops yeah forgot type 4 1800 so own drain plug.

 

oooh ta!

 

the left one not the strainer one... thanks!

 

That will be a no then mate

 

I recently bought an oil strainer gasket set from JK for my type 4 engine, which I haven't used yet. There is a washer in there - it's approx the size of a new 5p piece, and roughly the same thickness.

Hopefully it will fit the sump plug. My strainer plate doesn't have a drain plug - though it looks like yours does...

 

its not mine too shiney... lol but similar.

 

It's very clean under there! Looks like new! No oil leaks?

 

If you squint that looks like my old girlfriend.

 

which bit?

 

It looks like a Cyberman...

 

No bolt in the strainer plate..How do you get it off then?

 

Good point - I'm probably wrong!
I might be thinking of a type 1.

 

Get down to Halfrauds. They may have crush washers in their little multi-pack things.
