John- A 5mm hex should fit. Be careful not to strip and be sure to use anti-seize when replacing. Gus

Loren I appreciate the quick response. I'll double check with the dealer on this. Gus Thanks Loren 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 Gus 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! Gus

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

Please help on the proper part #'s for the Coolant Manifold Plug and the washer as well. Thanks --Gus (2000 Base)
