it is not in the orange manual either. Might have to look up what other cars take an 003 oor 010 and see what they say.

From 1966 VW Service Without Guesswork
Oil drain plug. Class Muk7 M24 x 1.5 14 ft. lbs.
Same plug.
Still a guess.

The Haynes Torque specs call for 14 ft/lbs for the fill and drain plug.
The Bentley late bug manual calls for 14 ft/lbs in it's torque table. That's with an identical plug and housing material.
