Hi

What Ulysse is it? Engine size? Mk I or Mk II? It may help

sorry, it is a 1998 model 2lt 'S' model

I'm guessing but a lot of Fiat group cars use a 8mm allen key, you can use a 8mm brake tool.

I bought one from motor factors for £2.95.

I thought a 15mm size but do not want to guess and buy from halfords to find its useless, no one seems to know for certain

sorry I meant 12mm not 15, thats what most fiat owners seem to refer to? where do you get the replacement crush washers from as I went to 2 branches of halfords and could not find any

12mm I thought,buy a set for a tenner(sealey)which has 10 sizes/shapes,,always good for the future aswell.

I think the washers are dealer parts. Let us know what size the allen key is when you get it.

I will let you know, I might even try putting a socket set on it as there is a large hexagon shaped nut maybe it can be undone with a drain key or a spanner what do you think?

Well did you get it off

Not exactly gonna break the bank & always handy to have around.

I got the plug off using a 21mm socket. had a bit of a job getting the filter off as they are a bit awkward to get a good grip on, besides spilling oil when refilling I was pleased with the fact that I could do all of it without having to Jack the car up.

Thanks for everyones advice.

I am going to buy them though. Thanks

Loads around of different makes,I got a 'sealey' set for tenner 3 years ago,used daily & no probs Fit nicely into a 1/2"drive 22mm socket so can get plenty of leverage.
