 Topic: Frost PlugPosted: 05-November-2004 at 10:32 |

Can anyone give me the correct 'BMW Terminology' / Part Number for the frost plug - the round plug that pops out to stop the engine from cracking due from frost - I think!
I tried to explain it to the stealers and he told me I'd need the correct term for it - a lot of help he was! Regards, Rav |

Hello Geoff In the past as an Opel owner "core plug" was their term. I looked in my '02 catalogues Jaymic also uses "core plug" and from the German Walloth unt Nesch catalogue "Stopfen" Hope this is of some help.
