Radiator Leak

[DanRM 0 1 Cars]

Hi, i have a leak on my 1.6gti which appears to be coming from a plastic plug type thing just above the bottom hose. the fibre washer behind it looks like it needs replacing.

 

After having a closer look it looks like the blank plug has been tightened using a chisel or something similar and its completely ruined.

 

does anyone have a part number for it as my normal parts shop cant understand what exactly it is to order

 

Thanks

Dan

Its just an M22 blanking plug, early GTi's had the thermoswitch down there rather than near the top hose.

 

there isn't a plug listed on the 205 data, but there is under the 306 where there were some cars with A/C and no thermoswitches that used the same radiators as non a/c cars that did use thermoswitches.
