Hi,
I am wanting to change the coolent on my gti 180 but not sure where all the bleeding pionts are? Main reason for changing the coolent is the car seems to warm up really fast and runs at about 90 and raises almost staight away in traffic.
Cheers.

They run at about 90 normally, and due to the design of the cooling system it does raise quite quickly when sat still or slow moving, and then back down to 90 again quite quickly too, never a bad thing to change your coolant though! One on thermostat housing and one on the heater matrix pipes on bulkhead iirc, cant remember if there was one on the rad itself on the 206. (Other frenchness stuck in my head haha)

Just the one on the thermostat housing and heater hoses. Radiator bleeds itself through the top hose into the coolant reservoir!
