Re-using old sump plugs is ‘unnecessary risk’, Corteco say
Oil leak risks plugged: Potential for damage to plugs and threads, as well as higher risks from oil loss through leaks should be a thing of the past.

The condition of the sump plug plays a major role in the achievement of the perfect oil seal, but Corteco say increased engine temperatures – added to long drain technology – can adversely compromise sump plug integrity.

The supplier has said that the potential for damage to plugs and threads, as well as higher risks from oil loss through leaks will become a thing of the past with a standard plug replacement policy.

As the aftermarket distribution arm of Freudenberg, one of the world’s largest oil seal solutions for OE systems, Coteco has developed an OE quality oil drain plug replacement solution for independent motor factors.

An increasing number of garages now have access, within the hour, to replacement plugs that fit not just most popular cars, but car-derived vans including the Citroen Berlingo, Vauxhall Astravan and distribution fleet stalwarts such as the Ford Transit and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Benefits from replacing oil drain plugs

• Less risk of oil leak through damaged threads/plugs.
• Faster turnaround time.
• No remedial repairs.
• Improved customer care.

Sales and marketing manager, Steve Jarnet said: “It’s a first time fit solution that garages can use to their advantage while improving their customer care at the same time.
