Is the sump plug the same on all Vauxhalls?

[steg1970]

I let my car drain of oil over night and promptly lost the sump plug. Idiot!!

So I'll nip to the scrap yard and get another. Before I go are all they all the same? or do I have to get a particular type.

Thanks for helping me out of my stupidity.

Pop to halfords and get one with a new washer for a few £. It's the quickest and easiest way mate, trust me.

they would not let you take one from a scrappie mate

Why on earth not?

[AlexW]

I have done before. All though one from halfrauds is about £3 lol

[Adam]

I took one from the scrappy, just undid it and let the oil piss out all over the floor lol
Bloody thing fell in my toolbox as well :roll: :d

And yeah i think pretty much all vauxhalls use the same thread

[AlexW]

Vauxhall Do 2 Types Of Sump Plugs One Has A Torx With A Rubber Seal Which Is Fitted To The Later Type Vauxhalls And The Other Being A Bolt Type Which Has A Copper Seal They Are Both Interchangable

Exactly, why mess around at the scrappies trying to find one which is gonna be old anyway, Pop to Halfords pick one out & go home.

thread hijack,

im gonna get a magnetic one for my XE, has anyone else used one of these, as all of the modern cars use them?

[AlexW]

Not all modern cars use them. They do the job, have one on my tigra, i guess il find out how well it works when i break it again.

Mate has one on his 323 and it picked up a few metal filings from when it was built!
