Why does my Peugeot 206 keeps overheating?

It could be from reduced airflow through your radiator from dirt on the radiator fins, or a malfunctioning engine fan. It could also be things such as low coolant, a malfunctioning thermostat, restrictions in the cooling system requiring a flush or a few other things.

What causes an engine to overheat while driving?

There are a variety of reasons that a vehicle can overheat, such as cooling system leaks, blocked hoses from corrosion and mineral deposits, radiator issues or broken water pumps. Regular inspections may help avoid overheating issues down the road.

What temperature should a Peugeot 206 run at?

90 is the correct temperature for the engine to run at. It could be that your thermostat is opening too soon or is slightly stuck open giving cooler running (70 - 75) around town.

What does it sound like when your car is overheating?

If you hear a hissing sound from the engine compartment while driving or after turning the engine off, it may mean your engine is overheating and/or leaking coolant from the cooling system. Check the temperature gauge or temperature warning light to see if it indicates a overheating condition.

Where is the thermostat on Peugeot 206?

Where is the thermostat of the Peugeot 206 petrol located? The thermostatic valve or thermostat, if you prefer, is located on the side of the engine block, practically immediately above the gearbox: it is a plastic block to which several rubber sleeves converge.

What happens if your car overheats while driving?

If you let your car overheat and keep driving, the cylinder heads will eventually begin to warp. When this happens, it can lead to a blown head gasket, which would require a lengthy and expensive repair. It also conflicts with the combustion process as the heads do not perform as well when they are warped.

When I turn my car off I hear bubbling?

When the coolant cools and condenses, it moves into the radiator. Both of these can cause a gurgling or bubbling sound, and are completely normal. ... As the bubbles move with the flow of coolant, you hear the movement as a “gurgling”. This can be a problem – air trapped in the system can cause your car to overheat.

What does it mean when you hear a hissing sound in your car?

Hissing. A hissing noise coming from under the hood is generally the sign of a leak, typically in either the cooling system or the vacuum system. If you hear the hissing sound right after you turn off the car, it is often a sign that oil or coolant is leaking onto the exhaust manifold or another heated engine part.

Does your car make a noise when it needs coolant?

When your coolant levels are too low, your radiator will fill-up with air. These air pockets in your cooling system will cause a gurgling or growling sound.

How do you remove a thermostat from a Peugeot 206?

Unfasten the clamp holding the upper radiator hose in place and disconnect it from the housing. Use a ratchet and socket to remove the two bolts holding the housing in place. Remove the thermostat housing and set it aside. Note the orientation of the thermostat before removing it.

What Colour is Peugeot coolant?

Type C antifreeze (blue or green colour) contains products of mineral origin. Although outdated with respect to the requirements of modern engines, they are still used in older engines.

How would know if your coolant level is low?

If your car's coolant level is dropping, it is almost always due to leaks in the cooling system – the hoses, radiator or radiator cap, for example. Symptoms of this can be a rising temperature gauge, a sweet odour (the smell of antifreeze), problems with your car's heater or increased fuel consumption.
