Yep, i got one from halfords and it was fine. I think they are cheaper at renault though

 

[FlameR172]

ok thx !

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh they are about 80p I seem to remember, freebie if you get a good bloke.

£1.60 from Renault now

Is it an 8mm plug & washer? - I'm going to get these bits tomorrow

 

[Tigger]

^ Picking these up today, can anyone confirm the right size for the Mk2 172?

 

[kevin.s]

yeah mate its an 8mm plug iirc

 

[Martin_172]

ive never changed on in the 50+ oil changes ive ever done and never had one leak a single drop.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Its an 8mm square needed to undo the plug, not sure on the size of washer though!

 

[Ad172UK]

Washer wise is more like 14-16mm or something around that size I think.

I was given the wrong size by GSF and had to re-use my old one. Hasn't leaked however.

 

[iimushroomzii]

I've always used my old one too and its never leaked.

+1 on any car. Never been an issue.

wrong washer as the Renaults with alloy sumps need the washer with the rubber seal, but if its not leaking I might be able to get rid of the shed load of washers I have just like that one.

 

[Alastair.]

alloy sumps dont tend leak if u reuse the old metal/rubber washer, its the copper washers on tin/metal sumps that will leak.

used copper crush washers a few times and it's never been an issue.

Never had any sump plug washer leak at all actually

Can either washer be used on either sump - if you get my meaning?

 

[Alastair.]

yea they could, but what would be the point in putting the wrong washer on??

 

[Ad172UK]

Mine had a copper crush washer on and that's also what i was given by GSF.

My current copper crush one doesn't leak.

 

[Tigger]

Well how do I tell if I have an alloy or tin/metal sump then? lol

That looks totally different to the sump plug washer i got from Renault recently.

Although you will prob be fine usoing it.

It looks like the one i got for my gearbox sump plug when went to change my gearbox oil (pictured on the right)

What is the usual price for a oil filter and this sump plug nut and washer? Mine is leaking slightly.

 

[TomBear]

27pence from renault in shrewsbury

^ For a filter + plug + washer
