How to Replace the Radiator Coolant in a Peugeot 206

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see how to replace the radiator coolant in a Peugeot 206. Disconnect the radiator hose at the bottom using a socket spanner, allowing the rusty and debris-filled coolant to drain into a container. Flush the cooling system with a suitable hose (as shown in the video), performing this procedure until the pipes and radiator are completely clean. Reconnect the previously removed hoses, tighten the securing bolts of the radiator's metal clips in the engine compartment. Prepare to top up with new coolant. Finally, check for any leaks in the system.
