DS5 2012 2.0l Hdi 165 RHH coolant change

Unread post by Cagey »

Hello!

I have been looking to change my coolant before winter as I can see its quite dirty in the reservoir tank. My car is a 2012 DS5 Hdi 165 RHH engine and auto transmission. I cant seem to locate any bleeder screws or valves in the engine bay. I really love the car and want to take care of it. Does anyone here have some pictures, video/procedure on how its done?

Thanks in advance

Ivan

Just a comment, your car is 11 years old so should have had the timing belt replaced by now based on age if it has not already been done based on distance. The water pump is usually changed at the same time so the coolant would have been done with the belt. If the belt has not been done then beware it can be at high risk of failing.

Thanks for the comment Paul. Thats really good advice since my timing belt and water pump was done november last year. Still its quite dirty in the reservoir tank so I'm thinking of changing it.
