Heating Issue Peugeot

[Clivelloydrocks]

Hi,

I'm using a Peugeot 307 triptronic 2002 YOM.

Currently I'm suffering with a automatic gear fault and it will be repaired in next week, however my problem is that, car start to increase the heat significantly after I stop it, the fans are on,this can be observed when I immediately switch on (not start the engine) the car but not after keeping it for a while. The entire radiator is on coolest not water.

My question is it related to the gear box ? Or something separate if so can somebody advice me what to do.

Thank you

If you had a hard drive, it is good practice to let the engine cool down a bit before turning off, particularly if you have a turbo. 30 seconds to a minute is probably enough. Its just to let the oil cool and components cool down gradually for a bit.

Hi everybody

Thanks for the replies

Harsha a answers for your questions

Fan kick start in 92-93 more towards 92 however coolent didn't splashed out , but coolent splashed after stoping the engine. Coolent had a general boil didn't blast out.

Fan seems to be ok at all the speed seems to be high and fine (didn't check by removing the shocket)

Further can you please let me know do we have to keep the engine on after a drive in parking gear before we stop the engine.

Thanks once agin for the help

Looks like there's no issue to worry. Did you also check whether fan operates even after the engine switched off?

ditto Don. It's always a good practice to run the engine without cutting off all of a sudden. Not a must for a non-turbo though

Yep fan operates depend on the run it is on I.e. If it's a long it stay for a while if not engine stop immediately
