206 - Coolant Bleeding Points
-> 206 Problems
#1: 206 - Coolant Bleeding Points Author: louis121,  PostPosted: Sun Apr 03, 2016 5:36 pm

My Car: 2004 (54) Peugeot 206 1.1S 8V

Hey, in-short I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for the bleeding screws of the coolant system. I'd like to drain the coolant, flush the system and replace it as it's becoming a little dark and hasn't been changed for a long time now. I am aware of the general process for doing this, but can't seem to find a definitive answer for where the bleeding points are located. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Louis

Hi and welcome!

Your car will have 2 bleed points:

1. Trace the 2 coolant hoses that pass through the bulkhead (these are for the heater matrix). On the top pipe you will find a little thumb turn.

2. On the top of the thermostat housing (Trace top rad hose to engine block and there is a screw there). It's the one that looks out of place.

Hope this helps

On mine the bleeder near the thermostat is a hex shape bolt. What I do before filling with coolant is crack open the 2 bleeders. Slowly pour in coolant and you'll hear air hissing from the 1st bleed port by the thermostat. Keep filling till it stops hissing and you see a steady stream of coolant flow from the bleed screw then shut it off. Keep filling till a steady stream flows from the heater bleed screw and shut it off.

It pays to give the rad hoses a whack and squeeze as well. I also like to close off the bleed screws and then let the engine get up to temp and then bleed again but it's not necessary. Bring some spare coolant/water with you on your travels for a week or so just in case you need to top up to make up for displaced air.
