The problem is most likely that you bought the ECS magnetic drain plug. I purchased one a couple of oil changes ago and I quickly realized that it was to big for the hole (a common issue I encounter!). I quickly chose not to install it and to dig my old plug out of the recycling bin, if I had used it I would have most certainly stripped the threading.
I called ECS Tuning and they informed that they had recieved several similar complaints about the same plug on 1.8t on the 225 model only and gave me a full refund. Lesson, do not risk buying this plug if you have a 225.

No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I finally called ecs today and got my $12 back. They said it had occured before, so I don't think it's a cross tread issue. More likely a made in china issue.
I wounder if your ecs plug "just barely works" and over a year or so it strips?? I think the thread pitch is just slightly off.
