Copper washer for sump. What is the size ?

[laurentiu]

I'm going to do a oil change soon and I want to buy a copper washer but i'm not sure of the exact size...Does anybody know ? The model is '96 1.2 8v . I found part-number on the internet but no mention of actual size.

Take it off and measure it

umm...what do you think will happen when I take it off ?? I'm going to go DIY on changing the oil AND not doing in NOW as in today, few weeks, a month from now. Want to have everything ready, not take out the sump bolt-washer then run around town (on a weekend) with that one to show to these Service station Cypriot people who are very technically challenged to say the least.

Does anyone have any more constructive and less childish way to find out what size this washer is ?

I bought the one from halfords that said "vauxhall" on it... works for me. Its inside diameter is bigger than the thread but its outside diameter is smaller than the head of the sump nut so it worked fine for me.

For what its worth the car didnt have a copper washer on it anyway so measuring might not work.

Thanks for trying to help "dmiller" . As for "donnay1991" , grow up a bit..

For future reference, the size is :
3/4” (19mm) Outside diameter
9/16” (14.5mm) Inside diameter
1.5mm thickness

No bother - thanks for posting back with the correct size by the way as I couldn't find the exact answer myself when I went looking a while back!
