What engine are we talking about?

 

You say 11mm 'seems' small, but does it fit?

Get an 11mm spanner, problem solved! Peugeot use really funny bolt sizes so you're gonna have to get used to 11mm, 16mm and 18mm.

Get a hammer and tap the socket on. If 10mm is too small and 12mm is too big, it has to be 11mm. Besides Peugeot don't use 12mm bolts for anything.

They are 11mm. Be careful not to lose them, as they are a strange size and hard to get hold of locally/in a hurry.

Strut top mounting nuts are 11mm too. 10mm and 12mm spanners won't work on those either.

Are you taking the piss?

[Cameron 16]

You could use half a 22mm however.

also it's three bolts not two.

 

and be aware of the throttle body heating pipes too if you don't want coolant going everywhere.
