Oil sump drain plug renewal

Postby GTAUS » Mon Apr 05, 2010 12:11 pm

Hi All.....at some previous time some sirry irriot has ruined the existing oil sump plug....so if i can eventually remove it my question is......what can i replace it with. Any common Renaults etc?
Would Renault dealers still sell these things?
Any tips appreciated.

cheers :]

According to the parts catalogue it's a 77 number so that's often a helpful start:

77 03 075 152 (there's a dagger symbol next to that number, though, and I've no idea what that means). The other number listed (that doesn't have the dagger) is:
79 03 075 033

Curiously, for the sump-plug washer the 77 part number has no dagger but the 79 number does... :?

Does anyone know what this symbol means in the parts catalogue?

It's a cross not a dagger and it means that the part # is dead .

I understand it is a fairly common part to Renault/Peugeot/Citroen, so it should be easy to get,.... it is a 16mm sump plug, and it requires a 8mm square key to shift it.
If the square "hole" is damaged, it does stick out a bit so a mole wrench might be able to shift it. :wink:

Thanks so much Chasps. Job is done and dusted.
The part was quite easy to get.....Peugeot Dealer at 3 quid.
I then spent over 2 hours trying to remove the existing Mother *#@*....who ever stuffed it in the first place needs shooting.[workshop]

Cheers again for the great help :]

Oh yes, we pay a garage £100 an hour to do simple stuff like changine the oil, they pay an apprentice £5 an hour to do it badly supervised.
