What tool do I need to remove the drain plug?

Mungous

Good old 8mm square drive! Not quite a 1/4" square, not quite 3/8". Citroën likes to annoy people with things like this.

In the past I've ground down other tools/bolts to fit the hole, but you can buy the right tool from tool shops.

Might have to get some 8mm square bar from work and fashion myself a doofer.

Can get them easy enough from any tool shop. Koken and the like make them.

Must be a french thing cause I had to get one for the Clio
04 Clio RS - daily
03 Hirsch Saab 9-5 Sportcombi - family wagon
97 106 Gti - Current 2KCUP car - unknown quantity.
97 106 Gti - road car currently in bits after offering itself up as a sacrifice to the race car.

Pete always says the square shaft out of door handles is the go. I use a koken square drive socket


I recognise the plate too kyle. It's a de from pohangina old car, as per Petes link on the first page :)

Shame about the boulder that cracked the screen yesterday on the way to Invercargill.

Also these valvers are great fun to drive and put my mates in their place with crappy jap things.
