Hi Guys,please can somebody tell me where to find this on a 2000 (phase 3) '6'. Haynes manual shows on LHS at about '9 o clock' but I can't see anything that looks similar or with a square recess. There is a hex head head screw at about the '3 o clock' position though. Is this it ? Any advice appreciated. ________________________________________ Stuart Metcalfe |

To be honest I never use this plug.When I do a box oil change I drain it completely then refill through the breather at the top with 2 litres.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I generally get the box nice and warm and then dump the oil and leave it for a day or overnight so I get as much as possible out.  Then refill with 2 litres. Seeing as the correct capacity is 2.1 litres and you won't get the last 100ml out as it's still clung to the innards I reckon it's a good system. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Yeah generally but I do all the work on the car in the garage and I'm never in a rush so I don't mind how long it takes. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
