Sounds like you are getting screwed by a mechanic's negligence!! goodluck, hope there are still some honest people out there...i.e. the one who work on the car has a 'heart".

I don't want to be the devils advocate, but sometimes you cannot know the threads are damaged until you start unscrewing the drain plug. Once the thread are coming out with the drain plug, you know it's too late.
Usually the technicians at the dealer carry a 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 torque wrench in their tool box. If they dont have good torque wrenches they dont belong there and they shouldn't work on german cars. They should go work at Midas.
Alway try to get the petrolhead who works at your dealer, he will take good care of your ///M.
