Good morning,

I have a Panda 1.2 69hp from 2016.

I would like to know the tightening torque of the crankcase plug.

I found some information that talks about 25Nm,

Is this possible?

THANKS

Good morning,

Are you replacing the drain plug or can we keep the old one?

Sincerely.

Good morning,

Thank you for this very clear tutorial. I had never drained with this type of plug before (always classic plugs with a metal seal) and it allowed me to work serenely.
