Understanding the Frost Plug in Your Audi 80
The frost plug, also known as a core plug or freeze plug, is an essential component of your Audi 80's crankcase. Its primary function is to protect the engine block from damage due to freezing temperatures. When coolant freezes, it expands, and the frost plug is designed to pop out to relieve pressure, preventing cracks in the engine block.
Signs of Frost Plug Failure
Over time, frost plugs can corrode or become dislodged, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating. It's crucial to inspect them regularly and replace them if you notice signs of wear or leakage to maintain your vehicle's performance.
Choosing the Right Frost Plug for Your Audi 80
When selecting a replacement frost plug for your Audi 80, it's important to choose one that matches the specifications of your vehicle. Using the correct size and material ensures a proper fit and maintains the integrity of your engine parts.

What is a Frost Plug?
Frost plugs (also called freeze plugs, engine core plugs, or engine block expansion plugs) are critical to your engine's coolant system. They fill casting holes that are created when the engine block and cylinder head have been cast. Also, if your water freezes, the frost plugs move to release pressure. They keep the coolant from leaking out.
If the frost plug fails or is broken, your coolant will leak out and cause the engine to overheat.
