Sump plug - what size for 405 Diesel

Sep 23, 2006 4 Replies

We have a Peugeot 405 Turbo Diesel with a 1998 cc engine. Can anyone tell me the type and size of the plug for the oil drain on the engine? Square, hex ... and size.



Thanks in advance.

8 MM Square usualy :)

my 405 diesel has a 7mm Square.

Thanks. I thought it might be square, since I machined something up once on a milling machine do do the job on a Peugeot 306. I have lost the bit I made though. I would not have made a hex one - too much like hard work.

1/4 drive or 3/8 drive might be able to fit in there,,
