Hi guys,
I need to buy a socket to tighten the sump plug on my golf GTi mk5 and I wondered what size socket I need to buy?
Thanks

There's potentially different gearbox plugs so it's probably best to take a look yourself.

The sump plug used to be 18mm, but is now 100% 19mm, just to add more confusion
Gearbox is usually a 13mm allen, but can also be 10mm, depends on the year.
Perhaps a decent socket set covering all the possibilities is a wise investment
