Gearbox oil Change

[elma]

Hi,
does anyone know the size of the washer for the gearbox drain plug please?
It's for a 1.9td Xantia.

I believe there are two different sizes, there are for the 2.1 XUD anyway. If you look on ebay you will find them quite cheap, I bought 10 of each.

Sorry, another attack of senior momentness, I am of course talking about the engine. I have never had to replace a gearbox washer.

It does depend on the gearbox, but if yours is a BE3 the washer appears to be part number 696312, 7X14 1.7 (that suggests a washer with a 14mm bore, rim of 7mm, thickness of 1.7mm).

Couple of turns of PTFE tape, job's a good 'un

Some helpful person stripped the thread on my sump plug before I had the car but I've done 3 or 4 oil changes using PTFE tape on it - works a treat.

Plug or hole (or both)? If you can post up the RPO number and engine type (and if it has aircon) I might be able to look up the right part sump plug; there are several options.

The various options are as follows; 0311 28 (M14 x 125), 0311 29 (M10 x 125), and 0311 40 (M14 x 125 again).

Car is a 1.9Td non aircon with rp 6811 and paint code KJWCR.
Paint code is only there in case I got them the wrong way around.
I'm not sure about plug type yet.
I'll get one of each probably just to make sure.

Just for if anyone else is after the same information. I did the job today, the drain plug was 21mm and the fill/level plug 19mm. I used a 16mm Cu washer but a 15mm may have been a better fit and a 14mm was tested but too small. I don't know the size of the square plug as I have no sockets to fit them and they are not easy to find up here.

Heres some pixs of the drain and filler plugs on my car.
