22mm

It's 19mm and you should renew the bung.

Wierd?

ETKA says 22mm for almost all diesel engined sump plugs? :wonder:

imz_the1, you'll have to let us know?

Edit: renew sump plug washer at the same time.

I couldn't remember if it was 17 or 19mm, but considering Ross must of seen 'one or two' of them in his time, I would go with his 19mm (it's certainly not 22mm!)

A new bolt comes with the washer attached (about £1.50 IIRC from a dealer)

Aye, have seen a few.

All engines are 19mm except -

1.2 3 cyl and 1.4 MPI petrol which is a 6 or 8mm Allen key.

So much for ETKA then, might as well bin it :S

Hi guys thanks for the replies it was the 19mm Socket for the sump plug.
