Most of the folks here are in the U.S. and they haven’t sold Citroens here since I can’t remember when. Have you tried a Citroen forum?

…or try looking in the Owner’s Manual.

If Citroen issues a decent manual with their cars, it will specify the plug gap, as well as the recommended brand and model of plug.

And guess what? 0.9mm = 0.035", the old standby.
