Where can I buy and Oil filter housing drain plug?

[Jim Rey]

Last garage (indie) rounded the 13mm plastic fitting on the oil filter housing drain plug when they serviced my T6 campervan. I got it off with difficulty and can fit it manually but I want to torque it correctly to 25nm.
Part number wht 005 610.
Can anyone on here sell me one or tell me where I can get it?
Failing that the whole thing (End cap WHT 005 610 433 A). They had overtightened everything at the last service.
Don't think they knew what a torque wrench is.
The other job they did was the pollen filter which was not fitted properly so I had to do that myself.
This is why I decided to service the van myself...just can't trust some garages.

Note - the torque for the filter drain plug is 10nm. The filter housing is 25nm.

That explains why it is stripped, I think

Thanks for that. Think I will just get the full housing

Another question of you don't mind. In a google search it said for the Volkswagen T6 Transporters with diesel engines, the fuel filter replacement interval is typically every 40,000 miles or 60,000 kilometers.

My VW T6 102 2.0 tdi is a 68 plate with 19,500 miles on the click. Given the age should I be replacing the fuel filter as well as the oil and air filter? I only do about 5,000 miles or less a year.
Thanks

I'd say it depends on how long you plan to keep the van? That filter may already 7 years old (no idea what servicing has been done in the past) and I have no idea how long they last before the fuel degrades it but if you plan to keep it for another 7 years then I'd be changing it myself . If it went in for a major service after 4 years it would be changed.

OK thanks again
