Hi everyone, I was changing a tyre the other day and came across the small tool with a hexagonal or square end that lives in the base of the polystyrene container that holds the jack. Does anybody know what it is intended for? |

I have used the T30 end of this tool to remove wheel liner and front under bumper parts, maybe Citroen envisioned that there is a lot of work there to be done? (leaking LDS tank, front comfort sphere to name 2) | ||

Hilarious... How thoughtful of Andre to provide a tool for the sunroof that doubles for quick IKEA assembly moments at traffic lights. |

I think it's for removing the 4 screws under the license plate holder (or whatever it's called). You need to do this to change the reversing lights and/or the rear fog lights | ||

It's mentioned in the handbook, on the roadside toolkit page. Its specific purpose eludes me right now (it's my age, you know...)! | ||

According to the handbook, it's the 'tool for removing fog lamps and reversing lamps' so Furriegurrie was not to far out..... | ||

It also fits the socket in the Spoiler drive motor. I was hoping that I could manually wind down the "stuck fully deployed deflector" but it wouldn't budge. | ||
