OVERVIEW
Large factory sealing plug for the transmission oil sump
WHT-000-323-A is the Genuine VW/Audi M24 x 1.5 large automatic-transmission filler/sealing plug for the assigned oil-sump connection on the applications below.
The large plug provides access to the specified filling connection. It is a different component from the smaller drain plug in the same sump. Match the complete part number, gearbox type and port before replacement.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: WHT-000-323-A.
- Factory specification: M24 x 1.5 thread.
- Design: internally driven threaded sealing plug with collared bearing arrangement.
- Quantity supplied: one individual plug.
M24 identifies the nominal thread diameter and 1.5 mm the pitch. The specified sealing O-ring is a separate service part. The listing does not include transmission fluid or a sump.
Common reasons to replace
- The internal drive is damaged or rounded.
- Threads are damaged or crossed.
- The sealing surface is damaged.
- The plug is missing after transmission service.
- The installed plug has the wrong thread or sealing arrangement.
Inspect the sump threads, sealing-ring groove and mating surfaces. Diagnose the source of any fluid leakage before replacing the plug. A new plug alone will not repair a cracked sump or damaged port.

Installation guidance
Follow the gearbox-specific filling procedure, including vehicle leveling, fluid specification and temperature requirements. Fit the specified new seal, start the plug by hand and tighten to the prescribed torque.
Perform the required fluid-level and leak checks. Avoid confusing the large filling connection with the smaller drain or other plugs.
Ordering information
One individual genuine plug. O-ring, fluid, sump and other plugs are separate. Confirm VIN, gearbox code and original number.
