Unfortunately this isn't some perverted market research just a simple question.......

Are all brake bleed nipples the same size?

I have a snapped one on the peugeot and just wondered if any old nipple of ebay will fit

Thanking you :-D

Try edit :laugh:

Simple answer is no, they are not all the same, manufacturers use different size threads and outside diameters.

With a Pug you'd probably be safe with any nipple for French cars, so Renault, Citroen etc

You wouldn't believe it but searching eBay for Peugeot Partner bleed nipple, Peugeot Partner bleed screw, Citroen Berlingo bleed nipple etc brings up one result and that's for a 106!

Anyone know a website where it will give you info like this?

Yes, i just tried that as well, www.brakeparts.co.uk is the one to find the size, and buy if the price is ok
