The Racingline Magnetic Plug Set replaces the differential or transfer box drain plug on MQB cars with a magnetic plug that traps fine ferrous metal particles from the oil. It is fitted at the next oil change by screwing the new plugs in.
Features
- Magnetic drain plug traps and removes microscopic ferrous particles from the differential oil
- Most useful on harder driven, higher power cars, where more metal debris can be carried by the oil
- Simple fit at the next oil change; just screw the plugs in
- Includes a non-magnetic Haldex oil filler plug
