Hi
Just a coolant question regarding my peugeot 207 08 plate
I have noticed now the cold weather has come my heaters are only blowing luke warm ish? I have had this problem before when the thermostat was changed last year.
The symtoms are as below:
1.)I have topped up coolant and i do regular checks it but the expansion tank always looks empty, when the engine in hot and cold? It is free of leaks ane none of the hoses around that or the radiator , thermostat or rad are perished. When should you clearly be able to see coolant in their?
2.) If i drive the car normally dailly around 10 miles or so the engine temp goes to around 70 - 90 c then drops to zero then it will fluctuate quite a bit? After this distance shouldnt it be stable? The radioator gets hot but the heating is neither cold or red hot? As normally after 10 mins or so the peugeots are red hot inside with the heating on? Even when idling
What could the issues be to the the symtoms explained as above? The themostat is only 12 months old?
Thanks for your help. I have tried to give as much detail as possible
