Torque figure for sump plug

Unread post by Sampson600 »

Hi there.

I'm new to the forum as I've just purchased my first Citroen, a 2005 LWB Relay 2.2 HDi TD and have found the read very useful. However, I have my first request for help already as I've ordered a workshop manual, which is yet to arrive and I'm looking to get started on the van by changing the oil, filter + sump plug, but I was wondering if someone could please confirm the right torque figure for the sump plug???

Many thanks

38Nm it is then, thanks for the info. Don't really want to be too brutal with that particular thread!!

Many thanks
