Hi guys and thanks for the website
I have a problem with overheating and I hope for some help
My 206 is is a w reg (2000)
Just out of the blue it started. It's been in the garage to have a couple things replaces including radiator and thermostat! But still it's overheating.
It's perfect when idle but as soon as I got 50mph it moved up above 90. Once I hit 70 mph it's nearly touching the red but as soon as I slow down the temperature drops also. I'm stumped tbh.
I've spoke to many mechanics and most have provided different answers
The car has also had a 'sniff test' done. But that came back clear.
Please, please any help welcome. And please any questions then just ask

Re: overheating 206
hi and welcome
first thing i would do is make sure the cooling system is thoroughly bled of any trapped air,
secondly if the year/model has a header tank i would make sure the spout on the tank that the rad bypass hose goes to is clear,
as it only has a very small through way inside the spout it can fur up, this stops you being able to bleed the system properly
were are you located
