    Hi what size are the oil drain plug washers? halfrauds were no help and said without bringing it in they cant tell me what one i need (1.1 citroen saxo with 8mm squre)...so any one no what size washer i need?
    Also to use a socket on the hex bolt instead of using the 8mm square, am i rite in thinking its a 24mm socket ? thanks.

    If yours has a washer it will be the first Saxo or 106 I know with one and I serviced 100's of em. Normally just clean the plug with brake cleaner and clean the plug seat then put it back in.

    ALL of the pugs/citroens I've had have washers on the sump.

    They leak without washers unless you put sealant on them
