The larger hole is meant to have a cover plate permanently fixed, the smaller hole is for a wading plug, so it normally remains open and is only blocked whilst wading.

Look in your owners handbook and you will see this: :)
Manual gearbox models are provided with
drain holes at the lowest point of the flywheel
housing (between engine and gearbox). In
addition, 300 Tdi models also have a drain
hole at the bottom of the engine timing cover.
These drain holes enable excess oil to drain
from the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of
inadvertent damage to the clutch or camshaft​
drive belt.
 
would do but got no handbook just bought haynes manual ! but it defo has a threaded hole in bottom of housing will put a pic on tommorow as i am changing track rod end and making a plate to fit over inspection hole ...
