I only use the Audi crush washers for the 100LS, as it's about 1 inch
diameter. For the Coupe & the 5K, I use a nylon or possibly teflon
washer they sell at Pep Boys, AutoZone, maybe even Wal-Mart.

You can reuse these washers until they virtually disintegrate. But
if you do, it's _very_ difficult to remove what remains from the 
threads of the drain plug. BTDT.
