IMO you would be better off having access to a lift rather than laying on your back trying to loosen those drain & fill plugs. They can be a real bear to say the least. And on your back it is really difficult to get them loose, especially after years of being in there. As mentioned above it would be good insurance to have the extra plugs before you start the job, or getting it done elsewhere. Check out the link below for the plug part #'s which are available at your local VW dealer and really priced well. Have fun!!!

Another alternative tool to have for the plugs.....get yourself a 17mm 3/8" drive Allen socket to fit the plug.
