Genuine Bentley Engine Sealing Plug Component WHT003487A

Product Overview

The Genuine Bentley Engine Sealing Plug Component WHT003487A is a genuine sealing plug supplied through Bentley Motors at Crewe, listed by Bentley parts specialists simply as a sealing plug. The WHT prefix tells its own story: this is a Volkswagen Group standard hardware number, used across the Group rather than a part designed only for one Bentley model. In Volkswagen Group service information the same number is described as a threaded plug, appearing for example in exhaust and emissions system repair procedures where a threaded opening must be closed off and sealed reliably. That matters when you order, because a sealing plug only does its job if the thread, seat and sealing face match the opening exactly, and small standard plugs are easy to confuse with near-identical sizes. This listing is for the genuine part under the exact number WHT003487A, brand-new and supplied as produced for the Bentley and Volkswagen Group parts network. Because no single Bentley model application is published for this number in the sources we checked, we do not guess one on this page: confirm fitment with your VIN, or with the number taken from the plug you are replacing, before ordering.

Part Numbers & Reference Codes

OE part number: WHT003487A, also written WHT 003 487 A. The WHT prefix is a Volkswagen Group standard parts prefix, and the same number is catalogued for Audi and Volkswagen applications as well as being stocked as a genuine Bentley part through Crewe, where the original minimum order quantity from Crewe is five. Volkswagen service bulletins describe WHT003487A as a threaded plug. There are no Bentley-specific 3W or 36-series numbers cross-referenced to this plug in the sources checked, so the WHT number itself is the reference to order and verify by. If your old plug or parts diagram shows a different suffix or a different prefix, do not assume interchangeability: send us the number and your VIN and we will check it.

Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment

This plug is a Volkswagen Group standard part, so its application is defined by the parts diagram for each vehicle rather than by one model range. It is stocked and supplied as a genuine Bentley part, and the same number also serves Audi and Volkswagen applications, including documented use as a threaded plug in exhaust-side emissions repair work on Volkswagen diesel models. We could not verify one specific Bentley model, year or engine for this number from factory or specialist sources, so this page deliberately lists no model table claim beyond that. Share your VIN, or the diagram position and number from your existing part, and our parts team will verify whether WHT003487A is the plug your car calls for before you order.

Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Group standard part: the exact WHT003487A plug as supplied through the Bentley Crewe and Volkswagen Group parts network, not a hardware-store substitute
• Correct thread and seat: standard plugs are size-critical, and the genuine number guarantees the thread form and sealing face the diagram specifies
• Seals threaded openings: designed to close and seal its threaded port against fluid or gas escape and dirt ingress
• Verified by number and VIN: because this standard number serves multiple Group applications, we verify your exact use before dispatch
• New, unused sealing surface: a fresh plug seats and seals cleanly, unlike a removed plug with a compressed or damaged seal face

Technical Specifications

Installation Position & Fitment Notes

This plug fits the threaded opening shown for number WHT003487A on the parts diagram for your specific vehicle. Its exact position varies by application, and Volkswagen Group documentation places this number in exhaust and emissions system work as a threaded plug, so do not assume an engine-block position from the listing category alone. Clean the threaded port before fitting, check the thread in the housing for damage, fit the plug by hand first to confirm the thread engages smoothly, and tighten to the torque specified for that diagram position. If the plug seals a fluid or gas passage, check the joint for leaks after the first heat cycle and re-inspect at the next service.

Product Brand, Type & Condition

Brand: Bentley, supplied as a genuine part through Bentley Motors Crewe. Type: sealing plug, also described as a threaded plug in Volkswagen Group service information. Condition: brand-new genuine OEM part. Note on identity: WHT003487A is a Volkswagen Group standard hardware number rather than a Bentley-exclusive design, and this page describes it that way so you know exactly what you are buying.

What's Included in the Box

This listing includes one (1) Genuine Bentley Sealing Plug, OE part number WHT003487A. It is a single small hardware item: no gaskets, clamps or other fittings are included beyond the plug itself, unless the plug is produced with an integral sealing face. If your repair also needs the parts around the plug, send us your VIN and diagram details and we will help you identify them.

Installation Requirements

Professional installation is recommended, particularly where the plug seals an exhaust, emissions or fluid passage. The technician should confirm the diagram position and torque for your vehicle, clean and inspect the threaded port, and leak-test the finished joint. A cross-threaded or under-tightened plug can weep or work loose, and an over-tightened plug can damage the housing thread, which turns a small hardware job into a major repair, so the specified torque matters even on a part this small.

Warranty & Returns

If the part arrives damaged or is incorrect due to our error, we will replace or refund it.
