308 EP6 5FV - Crankshaft locking hole location

Unread post by jpadie »

does anyone know where to find the crankshaft locking hole location for this engine in a 308CC from 2010?
I'm assuming it's on the flywheel side near the oil filter but I can't see a thing!
the guide helpfully just says 'Turn the crankshaft until the locking pin fits'!

Which engine? :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

thanks @mickthemaverick

i have now found the bore. it's uncovered and high up on the bellhousing side of the exhaust manifold. accessed from under the car.
