Magnetic Drain Plugs

[My S1]

For timing reasons, I'm too lazy to remove the drain plugs before I refill the engine and transaxle so hopefully one of you gents can save me some work and time.  Does anyone know the thread sizes of the drain plugs for the Renault 16 engine and transaxle?  Any leads on magnetic drain plugs?

Are you sure your drain plug isn’t magnetic? I don’t know Renault started using magnetic drain plugs but my NG3 came with one. Renault 16 Shop has one for a Renault 16 tranny which looks like a 336 but I suspect that all drain plugs have the same threads.

The plugs are tapered threads so a “generic” metric drain plug may not work well.

Thanks for the tip.  Renault 16 Shop does in fact have the magnetic drain plugs.

You might want to drop them an email to make sure their plugs will fit your tranny. I've found them very friendly and responsive.
