I have peugeot 206 1.4 1999. I am loosing the coolant, no leaks can be seen and oil looks good - no coolant in there, also no white smoke in exhaust.
Spark plugs were checked in garage today as car is misfiring a little.
Today on a short trip home the temp gauge went bit over 90 and than straight into red in like 5 sec. Stopped for 2 - 3 min started again and temp. was back to normal.
At home checked the coolant level after engine cooled down a little and it was fine. Heated it up to working temp. and it did not overheat. Left it for another half an hour and the coolant was gone again from the reservoir?
Where could the coolant go?
#2: Re: 206 coolant missing Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 4:50 pm ---- this looks like you got air in the coolant system
that would make sense - when I was removing the cup it let quite a lot of air out.
How to get that air out?

Bleed screw on the coolant pipe next to the bulkhead & also a blank you can remove just behind the thermostat on the housing ( early 206's might have a 2nd temp sensor screwed in here )

I will take it to garage in the morning. Im still afraid that it will be head gasket - but at least I have a hope for air in the system.
