Having problems with your 1991 Peugeot 405 ?
Car over heating
\015 I have a peuget 405 1.9 n reg, last week the heater stopped blowing hot air with only pump out cold, and now the car keeps overheating, took it to a garage they said could be water pump or head gasket, do you think this is right as i have just spent 260.00 getting it through the m.o.t.\015
Answers :
Change the t-stat
Any leaks? if your coolant is disipearing then yes its a leak or the head gasket is eating it, make sure your over flow is full, if it keeps eating it with out leaking out of the engine you need a hg, if its not eating it and still over heating then the water pump is out or it could be leaking from the water pump also. either way your loosing coolant somewhere and the water pump cant push air so the engine over heats from lack of coolant and with lack of coolant it doesnt flow up to the thermostat and to the heater core and that is why you arnt getting heat in the car. sorry if its not an easy fix but atleast its explained clearer for you. good luck let me know how it works out
