Unless you want to change the plugs while you're doing the coolant pipes there isn't much else to do since the starter has already been replaced. Of course, you may be replacing several broken plastic vent tubes, an unfortunate result of doing the coolant pipe job. Been there, done that. I might have the plugs on hand in case you dismantle the intake and find the pipes already replaced. At least all the work won't be in vain, albeit a little overkill.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. I plan on trying to tackle this again tomorrow after another 80 mile round trip to the dealership to get the replacement plugs. Thanks for the quick reply.

So I'm getting ready to perform my first oil change on my wife's Cayenne S (even went to the dealership today to purchase new seal rings to do the job right), removed the two underbody panels and BAZINGA! The first plug I try to remove is stripped! I guess the mechanics ive used since I bought this thing never bothered to replace it the last time I had the oil changed. I'm using a T50 but the bit starts to cut into the aluminum plug if I put too much pressure on it. Since its late on Saturday and I can't get a replacement until Monday, I've put this DIY on hold until I can get a new one. In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions on removing this old plug? They are slightly recessed so getting a pair of pliers on them seems impossible. FYI, this car has two drain plugs. Thanks for the help. Todd
