05 Widetrack STI front diff drain plug
 
Anyone know if the front diff drain plug on a 05 widetrack STI is a torx T70 or the 21mm hex?

Would like to know before I start the job because I don't have a torx T70.

Got the car jacked up today and it is a 21mm hex for the front diff.

Nice new motul 300 in the gearbox and limited slip stuff in the rear diff.

Bit late i know, but isn,t the diff incorporated in the gearbox, and not separate from what you inferred above.

drop gearbox oil and you do both, as you have done. :thumb:

not trying to smug, its just in case any one else is looking for a front diff drain plug.

Mine has a separate front diff plug but then its an auto box.....

The front diff and gearbox share the same oil but there is 2 drain plugs, 21mm for the diff and a 14mm for the gearbox drain plug.

Pop them both back in and fill through the dipstick hole :thumb:
