Reply to "17mm Transmission Plug 'tool'"

FWIW, your local Kragen/Checker/Schucks carries what you need as a VW/BMW drain plug tool for about $5:

Hi Garth, yeah, the real thing is inexpensive if I could only find one - we don't have those auto stores you've mentioned here in the great white north - at least I've never seen one around my neck of the woods. I've tried all the local shops (Napa, PartsSource (they had up to 16mm and that was it), Canadian Tire, Karbelt, Sears ...) and no one had it (as soon as I mentioned volkswagen, they rolled their eyes and made some comment about crazy european tool sizes). The VW dealership wouldn't sell me one, said to try Snap-On and MAC. A local tool shop could order one, but it would be 3" long and cost $16, so it was either order over the web and pay $20 for shipping, or do the McGyver thing

Next time I'm in the U.S. I'll hit one of the stores and grab a half dozen to share with the guys up here.
