What should I do if my Peugeot 206 overheats?
The fans should spin. If not, the fans are faulty. Next, reconnect the sensor and leave the engine running for 10-20 minutes with the bonnet closed. The fans should eventually cut in. If not, the sensor is faulty. Careful if changing the sensor as the thread on the radiator is easy to damage.
How old is a 4 year old Peugeot 206?
Ive got a peugeot 206 which is 4 years old. In the past month it has started overheating. The temperature will stay around 90 most of the time but sometimes when Im in traffic this will shoot up into the red and then when I start moving again it will come back down.
Where is the cooling tank on a Peugeot 206?
With the 206 and others the header tank is below the top of the engine, so to fill the system without getting air trapped a plastic bottle or alike needs to be secured in the mouth of the header tank to get an extra inches of head above the top of the engine. I have had a couple of Peugeots/Citroens that have had air locks in the cooling system.
