Description
Tool Kit: Jack, Wheel Wrench, Towing Eye For Citroën C5 2005 – 2007 For 16″ Wheels. Vehicle Jack.
Practical and robust emergency tool kit designed for Citroën C5 II models from 2005 to 2007 with 16″ wheels. This compact set contains a scissor jack, a cross or L-type wheel wrench and a screw-in towing eye – the essential items every mechanic and DIYer needs for safe roadside repairs, tyre changes and vehicle recovery. Supplied under Stellantis/Citroën/Peugeot references, the kit is built for straightforward use, secure storage and long-term reliability.
Key Benefits
– Ready-To-Use Set: Everything required to lift the vehicle, loosen or tighten wheel nuts and attach a towing point is included in one kit.
– Space-Saving Design: Components are sized to fit the factory storage compartment in the luggage area (usually under the boot floor), keeping the kit secure and accessible.
– Service-Friendly: Ideal for professional technicians and independent car owners who perform wheel changes, emergency recovery or workshop maintenance.
How To Use
– Jack: Position the scissor jack at the reinforced jacking point indicated by the vehicle manufacturer (side sills or jacking point near each wheel). Raise the vehicle only on a firm, level surface and always use wheel chocks on the opposite side. Never place any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack.
– Wheel Wrench: Loosen wheel nuts slightly before lifting the vehicle. After lowering, tighten nuts in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer torque using a calibrated torque wrench (follow the vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque).
– Towing Eye: Remove the bumper cover or access flap at the designated towing point, screw the towing eye fully into the threaded receptor until it seats securely. Use the towing eye only at the vehicle’s specified towing points and tow slowly and carefully according to towing guidelines.

Installation Recommendations
– Inspect All Components Before Use: Check the jack screw, welds and threads for corrosion or damage and ensure the wheel wrench socket fits the wheel nuts correctly.
– Use Correct Jacking Points: Always lift the car using the factory-specified jacking points to avoid damaging bodywork and suspension.
– Secure Storage: Store the kit in the vehicle’s dedicated compartment to prevent rattling or loss of parts. Ensure the towing eye is screwed in or stowed with the retaining clip to avoid movement during driving.
– Work Safely: Wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing wheels. Use wheel chocks and, if available, a secondary support such as axle stands for prolonged underbody work.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
– Corrosion: Prolonged exposure to moisture and road salt can corrode the jack mechanism, wrench sockets and towing eye threads, reducing reliability.
– Mechanical Wear: Frequent or improper use (e.g., overloading the jack or using the wrong jacking points) can bend or strip components.
– Missing Or Damaged Parts: Kits stored loosely in the boot can suffer from impact damage or lose small items; rubber or plastic retention clips may deteriorate with age.
– Improper Storage: Storing the kit wet or unsecured accelerates wear and increases the chance of malfunction when needed.
Practical Tips
- Keep the threads of the towing eye lightly lubricated and free of dirt to ensure smooth engagement when needed.
- Periodically operate the jack to confirm the screw mechanism moves freely and to spot any early corrosion.
- Replace any damaged or excessively corroded component immediately; using compromised equipment during a roadside repair is unsafe.
- Always use a torque wrench for final wheel nut tightening to prevent wheel damage and ensure safety.
