#1: Brown in water coolant, Over heating Author: Treeman91, Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2014 7:13 am ---- Hi guys new to this forum and cars...and driving.
So about 2 weeks ago i got myself a 2000 reg 1.4 petrol 206 all was working ok until yesterday, I went on a short trip about a mile and a half and the car heated to about 100 (so i drove slowly home) and discovered there was no Collant/water w.e in the tank filled it up drove it round the block didnt heated up to 70 got back home checked water tank again...little/no water thought it must just be pumping round the system so filled again.
Now when i accelerate i can hear like a rushing water sound even when in neutral and just putting the foot down there's also brown stuff in the coolant tank(maybe rust i dunno :/).
Ive looked under the car and cant see any leaks anywhere and it now kind of over heats gets ot about 95 odd randomly then cools back downa gain... Da fuq is going on?
Sorry for the essay
Cheers in advance.

do this few times,and then drive the car for few days,and see how thing goes,and check for leak in the cam belt area,as u might have a faulty water pump.
