Saved me a small fortune. Used this kit to rethread my VW Passat sum thread from 14mm to 15mm as the aluminium sump thread had been stripped. This saved me having to have the car dismantled and a whole new sump fitting costing many hundreds. Used this kit to cut new thread and use the 1 of 6 supplied sump plugs and washers. Life saving kit. Have a further 5 sump plugs for future oil changes. I am a DIYer and had no previous experience of using this kit and the thread cutting tool. Common sense and you can do this job in about 20 mins. My experience was on a 2003 VW Passat 1.9 tdi B5.5 model. It had a aluminium sump and thread and the nut was steel. The steel nut had been over tightened and stripped out the thread in the sump. Give this kit a go !!

I dont ever leave reviews but had to for this product. While servicing my high mileage Audi, the threads came out of the sump pan causing an oil leak. Got quoted £800 for a new oil pan + labour. Came across this, watched a few review vids and seemed straight forward enough. Tried it out today and no more oil leak! Was a bit fiddly to get it dead straight in the sump pan but slowly and surely got the new threads done and voila, all done. Well worth £10, save yourself the fortune and get this kit

Used after a garage had stripped a 14mm sump thread on my daughters VW Golf. As you are only going up 1mm in size no drilling out was required. I coated the tap with grease to contain the swarf and made multiple small amounts of progress, cleaning and regreasing as I went. Job done, although I did use a crushable copper washer in preferance to the ones supplied as I prefer them.

I own a number of neilsen products and always found them to be very good quality. I purchased this thread repair kit for oil sump thread repair and found it quick and easy to use.

my 14mm sump bolt had been over tightened by some other idiot enough to strip the thread, so purchased this instead of using expensive time-sert or heli coil repair kits.. this was cheaper. So easy to use repair done in under 10 minutes.. advice always remove sump cover from engine to save getting bits inside engine. I used this on an alloy casing i'd expect if it was steel it still would work just as well brilliant.. now what do I do with the other five plugs.. well you never know!
