Towing eye ring hook – forged tow hook replacement for Citroën & Peugeot
Need a solid towing eye that won’t let you down? This Dioche forged-steel tow hook is built to get the job done. It’s a direct replacement made from original-spec data, so it bolts straight in where the factory part sits — no faff, no fiddly spacing issues and none of that thin metal nonsense.
Strong, simple and built to work
Crafted from high-strength forged steel, this towing eye has the hardness and wear resistance to stand up to proper recovery work. It won’t bend or deform when you’re hauling a car out after a breakdown or pulling someone out of a muddy lane. The finish helps keep corrosion at bay too, so it won’t look tatty after a winter of salt and rain.
Fitment and compatibility
OE reference numbers include 674421, 7212ZJ, 7212SQ, 7212.SQ, 674418 and 674416. That covers a wide range of Citroën and Peugeot models — C3, C4, C5 and plenty more. Still, it’s worth double-checking the part number on your vehicle before you order; it saves time and the bother of returns.

Easy replacement and use cases
Swapping in this towing eye is straightforward. You’ll normally only need basic hand tools and, because it’s modelled on the original, everything lines up as expected. Use it for roadside recovery, towing to a garage or whenever the recovery crew needs a safe, secure attachment point — very handy when things go pear-shaped on icy roads.
Technical details and what’s in the box
Material: forged steel (high hardness). Weight: approx. 480 g. Package includes one towing eye ring hook. The part is modelled to match original dimensions and strength requirements so it behaves like an OEM item. If your car has been modified or fitted with aftermarket bumpers, double-check the mounting points before fitting.
Quick tips: check the OE number on your existing tow hook or in the vehicle handbook before buying; take a photo of the mounting area if you’re unsure; and when fitting, torque the bolts to the vehicle maker’s recommendations. If you’re planning repeated heavy off-road winching, bear in mind this is intended as the factory tow eye — for heavy-duty recovery you’d be better off using purpose-made recovery points rated for that kind of work.
All in all, the Dioche towing eye ring is a practical, dependable replacement — rugged enough for towing and recovery, simple to fit, and designed to match the original part. If you’re unsure about fitment, get in touch with the seller and provide your car’s registration or VIN and the OE number to be certain.
