#32: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: SteveTDCi, Location: StamfordPosted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:11 pm ---- i change the thermostat on my 206 without draining it, yes the fluid leaks out but put a clean tray underneath and catch the water, then just tip it back it the sensor itself can be changed without losing any fluid. The Thermostat is about £10 and the sensor £15. Have a look to see if there are two sensors near the thermostat, a brown one for the temp (not all have this but mine does) and a green one for the ECU. It might be worth checking the hoses and the expansion tank too. If its not losing water then it should be relatively simples

All steady for now but i will take it on a run in the morning and see what the gauge does, fingers crossed it doesn't do the same as before.

I'd rather go straight to Peugeot / Citroen main dealer & save money on both those prices
#40: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: 206DAG, Location: WakefieldPosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 2:16 pm ---- yes Steve i topped up the coolant and bled the system after replacing the stat thanks for the reminder though
#41: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: 206DAG, Location: WakefieldPosted: Mon May 07, 2012 5:36 am ---- well 2 months since i fitted the new Stat now and the car has been running fine without any problems in regards to the temp gauge. So the stat was the problem. Thanks for everybody's input, much appreciated. Debs
#42: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 12:57 am ---- Sorry to wake up an old and finished thread.
But while your car was being a dog, you didn't notice if you could turn the radiator fan by hand?
My cars over heating at the moment (our few days of summer) and the temp doesn't fall, only climbs while stationary. Driving along it drops back to 80ish.
I can't turn the radiator fan by hand either.
No problems if no1 replies as it is an old thread now.
#43: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Fri May 25, 2012 1:12 am ---- What temp does it rise to? As to me your car sounds normal.
#44: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: VorTechS, Location: Gloucestershire, UKPosted: Fri May 25, 2012 1:37 am ---- @MrMorris: Sounds more like your fan relays are screwed and the fan isn't kicking in, which is a common problem. (I have this same problem, but have not yet had chance to look at it)
#45: Re: 206 temperature problems Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 2:56 am ---- My temps rise all the way to Max and red STOP comes on.
Like I say, the fan is impossible to turn by hand, blades feel like they will snap before fan turns.
Relays are th electric plugs at bottom of radiator??
