#1: Drain plug question Author: Frod, Location: LeicsPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 11:41 am ---- The wife bought a 2009 1.4 a few months ago and when checking the oil it is filthy so I thought I'd change it. Seems as though the last owner managed to totally mangle the last sump plug so I wanted to get a new one... but a different sort rather than the factory standard.
Does anyone know what the actual thread size of the plug is so I don't have to leave her car off the road whilst we wait for a new plug to arrive once i have sized it up myself?
Thanks in advance

The new style is a fully rounded edge one with a standard oil drain square socket piece hole in it..
Take the new plug to your local halfords or such and ask for the correct adaptor, they're fairly cheap IIRC

#6: Re: Drain plug question Author: Frod, Location: LeicsPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:19 pm ---- Thanks all. This one looks as though the last user must have just used the wrong socket to remove, and if they have had a history of rounding off, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
If they've changed the design, I might go and try the OEM one again. You can't go too wrong for that sort of price!

The tool for these Peugeot drain plugs isnt that expensive either.
