Guest mike24515 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Can anyone enlighten me as to how to loosen the oil sump nut on my 4 year old C3 1.4 petrol. I have tried a socket which was the correct size but there is not enough to grip the nut and it slips off.I have tried an 8mm square section mild steel bar using vice grips it actually twisted , but still the nut wont budge. Any ideas. Quote
Johndouglas Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Not sure about the size of the C3 sump plug but all my vehicles require an 8mm 6 sided hex socket to remove the plug. Sounds as though yours has had a heavy handed mechanic on it. Shouldn't need tightening more than around 7lbs/ft. Quote
iannez Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 you need to remove the steel bracket to get better access. 2x13mm and 2x 10mm bolts. Quote
