What crush washer? - sump drain plug
Print view
|
Just about to do an oil change on my 1250RS, but don't have a new crush washer for the drain plug... as I reused the old one last time I'd prefer to renew it on this occasion really.

Normally I would agree BMW = BringMyWallet but "with the greatest of respect" !!! |

Zitat von Dave H im Beitrag #3 Yeah, great idea actually, especially as I ordered my oil/filter kit from Balmer! Unfortunately that's already arrived here, and as I'm heading off for France on the bike in 2 days' time my only practical options are either to recycle the old washer or buy a new pattern one from the likes of Halfords...

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #5 Does it matter what sort of metal it is? Just that I've heard of different metals being used here... eg sometimes copper? My current one looked like aluminium last time, as I recall? (Knowing my luck, I'd end up melting my one-and-only crush washer the day before I'm due to leave for France!)

I know that suggested heat treatment works for copper. I believe the annealing temperature is lower for aluminum and it is slowly cooled versus quenching for copper. |

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #5 That works on copper but not aluminum (aluminium?). I have re-used the washers several times as long as they are not damaged. YMMV Frank

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #8But not much good without knowing the specs of the original washer, which was what I was originally asking! Visited a few places locally yesterday with no joy; in the end I've just reused the old washer as-is and am hoping for the best. Bloody nuisance. No sign of any leaks at the moment ... will definitely get my act together before the next oil change, anway.

All useful info, and thanks it will certainly be helpful for next time, but I feel I'm being made to look an idle moron who can't be bothered to do an internet search... Again, I needed to find one of these LOCALLY (and nowhere near any BMW outlet), as I needed to do the oil change the following day at the very latest. In fact I did track down the 24x20mm specification online from the 07119963340 part number provided by Dave H, and ended up draining the oil and then hawking the old washer around local possible suppliers, to no avail.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #13 Just think, you could have been foolish enough to ask us for advice on marriage or sex...
