can anyone tell me the size of the engine coolaint drain plug

I was putting my engine together and I cant figure out where the hell i left it at. I came to the conclusion that Im going to have to buy a new one or a substitute bolt that fits. I tried fitting an alternate bolt in there but I was unsuccesful. none of them fit. does anyone know the size of the thread so i can buy another bolt or have one you want to send me? Ive been searching the forum and couldn't find anything. the one I'm talking about is the one that goes on the center iron by the engine mount bracket. this is for a S4 13B Turbo II.

Thanks in advance

I don't know the size but you can go to pep boys or whatever and there will be a display of bolts and a book that tells you which one your car uses.
