Hi guys,
Can some kind soul tell me the size of the sump plug to remove it, is it a box wrench or a torx fitting as it is looking rounded, it is a phase 2 56 plate .
Thanks,
Micky

Re: C5 phase 2 sump plug size
Mines a hex recess (Allen key) fitting, but I believe that some have a square recess.
They are very soft, and round off easily - I had to replace mine when I bought the car, but a chisel got a purchase on it with little trouble.

Cheers, it is an allen key recess but not sure what size it is.

Re: C5 phase 2 sump plug size
John's right, just checked mine and it's an 8mm hex.
If your's has started to round then you might need to insert a flat blade screwdriver on one of the faces to make it a tight fit.
Also, I would use an 8mm hex bit from a large socket set, not just a normal allen key, that way you have more precise control.
Once it's out, if it is damaged then get a replacement from Citroen (can't imagine it's that expensive)
