In this video we can see the position of the drain and fill plugs of the gearbox of the Citroen Berlingo and the Peugeot Partner; in fact, they are essentially the same vehicle with two different brands. We remind you that it is very important, when changing the oil in a vehicle's transmission, to always open the fill plug first, and only after this plug has been opened, can we open the drain plug and let the used oil flow out; in fact, it is very easy for the upper plug to be stuck, and it would be very unpleasant to find yourself in the situation of having drained the oil and not being able to open the fill plug! The drain plug is located under the vehicle, at the bottom of the differential; while the fill plug is on the side of the gearbox, next to the driveshaft, and to open it you need a 19 mm socket.
