If your Xsara has got Aircondition, the sump would seem to have 2 plugs one above the other.
Should be found on the rear of sump facing towards pedal box.
Its always the lower one to drain as most oil as possible.
Presumeably the upper one is for optional fitting some kind of a sensor.

What Anders said, I imagine that if this extra plug is for some kind of sensor, it would be the oil temp?AndersDK wrote:If your Xsara has got Aircondition, the sump would seem to have 2 plugs one above the other.

I would use a ring spanner with a bit of metal pipe on the end for a bit of leverage, should do the trick
