Does it just not work or does it give a false reading?

Sounds like an air lock to me. Did you bleed the system?

there is coolant coming out the bleed screw at the bulk head hose, top rad hose gets hot so there is coolant there, if it was an air lock would the temp not work sometimes then stop again??

There are 2 other bleed screws if I remember rightly? On on the thermostat housing and I can't remember the other, been a while since I had a 206 in bits.

Unplugging the coolant temp sensor normally kicks the fan in and your needle hit the red as it loses signal
