Do you mean the coolant drain plug on the bottom of the engine?

Yes Loren--the position is on the drivers side of the water pump and thermostat.

I think what you need is:

900.219.007.02 screw plug - US MSRP $4.02

900.123.144.30 sealing ring - US MSRP $0.38

Please double-check with your dealer.

Part numbers turned out to be correct--- although both Porsche Dealers here in Houston seemed hesitant. Seems the part is called a Transmission screw plug as well. With shipping time, etc--took 8 days to arrive. My 2000 2.7 has been on jack stands waiting for this Part ($4.57). During the course of changing the coolant pump and proper coolant flush I stripped the original part--although it was usable, I felt compelled to replace.

Thanks

Suggestion: Put a small dab of anti seize on the plug before you torque it in; it will come out a lot easier (and without damage) the next time.

Thanks--I replaced tonite with the anti-seize, used the uline tool to check vacuum and re-fill, no leaks, test drove perfectly, already watching the opening ceremonies!
