Frequently asked questions

What is the ETC8362 blanking plug used for?
The ETC8362 blanking plug seals a machined port in the cylinder block where no sensor, sender or fitting is installed, stopping coolant or oil escaping from the unused aperture. It's fitted to the 2.5L 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol engines on the Land Rover Defender.
Where on the engine does this blanking plug sit?
This blanking plug threads into an unused machined aperture in the cylinder block casting of the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. It blanks a port that would otherwise take a sensor, sender or fitting, so its only job is to seal the engine casting.
Is the ETC8362 plug specific to certain Defender engines?
Yes, the ETC8362 is listed for the 2.5L 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol engines on the Defender. Confirm your engine type before ordering, as other Defender engines use different cylinder block plugs.
