Re-fill coolant - Special Technique due to dodgy design - 405 TD

Discussion in 'Peugeot 405' started by 405 TD Estate, Nov 16, 2005.

  1. I was reading the post below and wondered if this applied to a 95 405
    TD? I was going to drain and refil the coolant system but this worries
    me a bit..

    "The french in there infinate wisdom built the 405 with dodgy coolant
    system. There are parts of the coolant system that are higher then the
    radiator filler hole When you fill your car up you have to make sure
    you use a header tank and bleed the system carefully. Failure to use a

    header tank and bleed properly will lead to air locks and these airlock

    can destroy the engine. I am also led to believe they can give symptoms

    you describe. Never encounted my them myself but i always use a header
    to refill.
    Have a look on http://www.andyspares.com/discussionforum/default.asp
    i use it and there is loads of hints/ tips and how to's on bleeding the

    405 engines plus more.

    The link no-longer works so I can't see how it's done.

    Cheers
