Hi guys I have been using my car for 7 years now. It was really good car has no problem at all I have been servicing in a very discipline way. It served me like charm also I drove for only 60,000 kilometers in 7 years less than 10,000 kilometers per year only just last year I had this timing belt broke while I was driving at 120 kilometer per hour. I needed then to change timing belt and repair the engine after that I have been using it fine engine sounded even firmer than the last 5th years of using this car.

Lat night I went for a party with my friend had some drink but not drunk stayed from midnight till very late at early morning. When I drove my car to my friend's house it was fine but when I drove back home after about 10 minutes the coolant gauge just went up instantly to almost the red warning overheating. I kept driving because I was really tired and were way so sleepy I continued driving the car for another 10 minutes then it went to red warning and the stop flashing so I turn over and stop the car open the bonnet I did not feel that hotter than normal the temp seemed fine and the fan was working properly. so I turn of the ignition wait for 15 minutes then start the car the coolant gauge went back a bit at 100 C. so I continued driving the car I was so sleepy so I just kept pushing accelerator pedal then it's showed stop flashing I was just ignored and it's went back to 100 c and I kept driving it went to red and stop flashing and went back to about 100 c. so I managed to drove my car back home. Once I got home open the bonnet use my hand swiped over the engine not touch it the temp seemed like not that super heated.

I will drive the car to the garage on Monday but I would like if anyone happen to have the same situation like mine It would be grateful for me if you can share your experiences.

Thank you so much I will keep you guys updating

Try changing the thermostat, and drain the radiator + water system. then fill it back up and bleed the system, see if that solves the overheating problem. Had a few overheating problems with previous peugeots with the TU engines, just replaced thermostats, drained the water system, refilled and bled the system and everything went back ok
