    punto gearbox oil top up plug.

    Hello guys. New to the forum. Liking the punto even though the clutch went a week after owning it. Just done the clutch but was wondering what size socket the allen key is to top up the gearbox oil? I don't want to buy a full set of sockets for something i'll probably never use again. So i just need to buy the one socket that is the right size.
    thanks guys and chat to you all soon.

    Seem to remember it been the same size as the head of a GT head stud lol! Will be something like 12mm.

    Honestly don't remember off the top of my head!

    I would buy 1/2 drive allen keys tbh, you can buy them singularly from Halfrauds etc.

    Sounds about right to me. 12mm IIRC.
