I guess that would be a question for the plug company. I know he¡¯s used it on Jettas and Passats for a while. Not sure what material he uses.The Reinzosil sealant was designed to withstand that kind of heat.

Thanks for the write up! It¡¯s a to do on my car (it blew foam a year ago, it¡¯s time).
I¡¯d be concerned that the 3D printed plugs would warp due to heat over time. PLA (most commonly used in 3D printers) melts at 350F (180C), but softens at 140F (60C). PLA or ABS (a higher temp, but more expensive plastic used in 3D printers) are thermoplastics, use in a heating system would be questionable to me. They appear small, so might not be an issue, but over time of years?
