New radiator is the only reliable fix Do not use radweld etc  As for the pressure, if its bled properly hg is the only other thing that can pressurise the system  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

I didn't want to use any radweld etc. as I don't want to block the system and I'm planning on keeping this car for quite a while so I'd rather fix it properly instead of filling it with s**te and running it into the ground. I know this has been discussed in other threads, but the general consensus on this forum appears to be that a Nissens alloy rad or an OEM standard Ordonez are the only onesworth having. Cheaper alternatives are also inferior, it seems. Would you agree? Thanks for the advice. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

just double check what bottom hose connection you have!if your not sure get a pic up! the main bottom hose plugs in bottom left if you are standing at the front of the car but potentially here's a Nissen's On the Bay ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Thanks for the advice guys, I will check my bottom hose fitting today.What is the different between the one you linked and this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSENS-Radiator-PEUGEOT-306-2-0-GTI-XU10J4RS-97-98-/151031177634?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item232a28e1a2 Is it the connector on the bottom and nothing else? Mine is a 98 Ph.2. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Yeah the one in yours appears to be the later push fit Found on most ph3 The one in mine was the earlier design that I think clips,. But there was a change over time mid ph2 I believe Plus someone could have easily changed the bottom hose Get that pic up we'll tell you which version you have! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Can get the radiator fitted for £30 and have either the option of it being ordered in or supplying my own. I'd rather it be a nissens as they're much cheaper than OEM ones without being poor quality. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Hope this is a good enough picture of the connector. My camera kept having a fit every time I tried to import pictures.If someone could tell me which nissens rad I need that'd be great as I'd like to order it tomorrow. Thanks for all the help so far!

that's the early type, however given the cost of a new hose, just buy the latest rad type (same part number...) and buy a new hose of the latest type, new o-ring included, no faffing.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

So this (clicky) radiator?Would you be so kind as to provide me a link to the bottom hose that would go with it? Doesn't need to be ebay, just any trusty online supplier that delivers. Thanks a lot. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Okay, so to get a new hose I have to walk into a peugeot dealers and ask them to deliver one?I ask as I'm going on holiday for a week on wednesday and I'd quite like to order the parts tomorrow to be delivered for when I get back & book the car in for the day after I get back as it needs to be ready to drive to Europe in soon afterwards. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

If you want a hand I'm not a million miles away. Changing out the rad isn't difficult and I can show you how to bleed it correctly.You can also speak to Warners Peugeot on 01684 297575 for parts and they'll post them out. Ed and Steve will know exactly what you are talking about. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Funnily enough, it was Ed that I ordered a bottom hose off a few years back for my ZX a few days before Pugfest, ordered an Ordonez Rad off Blue_Haddock in stoke.Nath Waqrden picked the hose up as I was running late, Kev swapped the rad for not a lot of cash and I fitted it in the campsite at Prescott on the saurday night  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

As this pretty much has to be done the day after I get back as the car has a longish journey the day after that and then several days after that Europe, it can be booked in and done for £30ish locally, which is probably approaching what I'd have to give you in petrol costs. I really appreciate that though. Thank you also for pointing me towards Warners Peugeot, I'll contact them tomorrow regarding the hose. & Thank you to everyone else who took the time to give me their advice in this thread. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
