Guys,
I have just drained the coolant on the car and refilled it using this guide: -
my206xr.blogspot.com/2...iator.html
(I hope its ok to link to guides outside of this forum btw, if not tell me I will delete it)
Anyroad I just wanted to confirm that I am using the correct bleed points: -
This one on the heater matrix
& this one on top of the thermostat housing.
I have to say I dont think I got 6 litres of coolant when I drained it more like 4 - 5 litres.
I seem to have only put about 3 litres in. Can someone conform the quantity that goes into these cars as it dont say in the Peugeot manual.

less went in because there's probs air pockets all over the system 
slightly off topic but look at pic 7 of that guide! there's water literally flowing over the electrics... bad idea, water and engine electrics really really dont mix lol

Yeah I did notice the water puring onto the electrics, I tried to protect them as best I could when I did it.
Are you able to confirm that those are the two bleed points?

Make sure the heater controls are set to hot & run the engine with the filler cap off for a while to help bleed the system.

Ive drained my engine/rad and only used the heater drain point (pic 1) as its the highest point. As said above put the heater controls to max hot and run the engine. It might take a couple of goes to completly fill the system as any air locks get "flushed out" so to speak.

if the filter was pierced that mean you will need a new filter.

I was just bleeding my one on the thermostat housing for 45 minutes and it was still bubbling a bit and afterwards the Air lock sounded as bad as ever. How long should it take and should I open the thing fully?
