Can you put water in a car coolant?

Are there any problems with the Peugeot 206?
Yes, they might have a lot in common. This Peugeot has got two oxygen sensors, one right at the combustion gases exit in the engine and the other one in the exhaust, a little bit down. If the exhaust failure is before this oxygen sensor, then the information that this sensor sends to the ECU might be incorrect.
Can a Peugeot 206 go into the red zone?
Might be worth following the CTS wire back to the ECU and using a liberal dose of WD40 to try to dislodge any moisture. Yes, it literally goes from steadily sitting at 60 on the temperature gauge straight up into the red zone in a couple of seconds. As I say, there is no actual overheating taking place.

What should the biting point be on a Peugeot 206sw?
You want a biting point to be 2 to 3 inches from the top and not nearly level with the brake pedal. Anyway it seems apparent that Peugeot and Citroen both have high to almost no point at which they bite . I myself would modify this as an engineer. But it seems to be normal on these cats to have absolutely no biting point worth talking about.

Or incorrect antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. In the mean time while your getting it fixed, turn the heater and fan up to full blast inside the car as that will cool the engine if it gets to hot open the windows but dont turn the heater off. Hope you get it fixed soon.

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.
