As you said, be careful not to lose the little screw cap of the heater hose/thermostat housing. I did exactly that, while being alone. The quickest solution in order not to lose the whole amount of coolant is to screw on the plastic caps from the tires. Actually, I have seen cars fitted with them driving for years.

Excellent video thank you. I'll save this job for the spring time, as I mentioned before, living in the wildlands on the Anglo-Scottish borders I don't want to risk messing with the coolant in the winter, esp since the bottom hose clip looks as rusty as yours !. The coolant in my 407 looks like river water but it has survived -7°c nights so hopefully it will be ok until the warmer weather and I'll fire it out, following this routine.

You need to turn the heater on Full to get all the air out of the compartment heater !

Those two bottom radiator hose clips on mine are severely corroded too. I think everyone should replace those, it's a potential failure at some point! However I would advise to use the spring clips as OEM rather than worm drive hose clamps. Those clamps don't auto-adjust to heat/cooling and natural setting of the rubber and can sometimes leak over time. Finally, often the "leak" point is the radiator cap itself, it's a pressure release valve and the seals fail over time. A few quid on ebay solves the problem.

Hello my friend. Question: where is located the dehidratator filter in Peugeot 407 hdi 2.0 136 FAP year 2004? And what is the number of part? Code OEM. Thanks my friend. Very good videos , I fixed all in my car with your help. Thanks again for your extraordinary job!!

The explanation and video was top notch. Meanwhile I haven’t been able to drive my automatic Peogeot 407 sw because of overheating. I use only water instead of coolants. The radiator have been changed to double cell. It has bled multiple times but it still overheats. The water boils or bubbles while I drive and flows out through the expansion tank cover even when it tight. I need help on where to look out for.

@Mad4FrenchCars

5 ай бұрын

I think becouse its just water and not a coolant it boils and thats why it goes out of the expansion tank. It has to be coolant premixed or coolant concentrate mixed with dionised water. I think normal water can damage this system regardless of radiator

Hello, first of all thank you for the video, very good. My doubt, taking advantage of the replacement of the timing belt, when changing the water pump, does the engine completely empty of water? Or is it only possible to change the coolant using this procedure?

@Mad4FrenchCars

Жыл бұрын

If you use method above I believe a very small amount of coolant is indeed still be left inside a system after draining. Then you change a cambelt and waterpump you can drain every drop of system. In other words then you change water pump you normally change coolant as its a best option to empty system. This method in this video drains probably 90% of coolant and water pump 100%

I wonder if the oil temp gauge is not working properly on my car, I have a petrol V6 coupe and the oil temp barely moves on a 15km drive when the coolant has been stuck on 90 for a long time. I understand the thermostat helps a lot and the engine is quite large but still I would expect the oil to warm up quicker than the coolant? Maybe the gauge is just a bit slow because the reading is fine on a long drive Anyway I need to do a coolant change on mine too since I have no idea how old it is. Appreciate the video, it's exactly what I was planning but it's good to double check so I'm not missing anything obvious

I am not aware of any common issue with air-conditioning as it always seem to be something else. It can be anything from condenser to little o rings on a pipes to actual air-conditioning pump. I have it many times and always some different issue. I would get a garage to put a floresant gas in a system to see where is a leak if there is any. But the good aircon specialist will be able to quickly tell what's wrong with it. And prices are according to what's wrong really. If it's a pump you can get good used one for like 50£ usually. Pipes can be sourced from scrapyard. Condenser better to be new
