anyone know of a vw fastener that will plug the oil return hole in the back of an AAZ block? going to use a 1.6 oil pan with the return fitting on it so that hole needs to be plugged up.
3/4" copper pipe cut to about 1" long and then use the stock banjo bolt. That should work as long as it's not in your way.

that's brilliant tyler thanks
Why not just get a stubby bolt or cut one off thats the same size/thread as the hole and run a copper washer on it?

You could even use the old copper washer from the oil return banjo bolt; I've found you can turn them around and they usually will re-conform.
If I may play devil's advocate: You could also use the top end of the turbo oil drain and splice it into the AAZ block-side drain end. That is, of course, assuming you are doing this out of preference, or don't have an AAZ pan. Also, don't forget the AAZ block is taller than a 1.6, so using the stock line won't work unless you use an extension of some sort.
