These cars have an Electronic (not controlled by wax)thermostat which if it fails can cause overheating. My guess is previous keeper has drove the car when the thermostat has failed which would of triggered the engine light and cooked the engine. They also have a none conventional waterpump which doesn't run all the time. So you get quicker warmups from cold to keep emissions down. The pump is controlled by an actuated rubber wheel. Very good idea but if your not in the no can be troublesome they also are prone to PCV diaphragm failure which causes oil burning which will in turn eventually cause the timing chain to fail from oil starvation as the tensioners are controlled by oil pressure. All relatively simple repairs, also if you have 200 THP on the rocker cover you have to be careful as they have been known to melt piston especially if not serviced regularly and any type of remapping. The was addressed with the 208 THP engine in the later cars post 2015 with forged pistons.
Thank you appreciate the advice💯
Would defo be good to fix it but financially paajis could not be worth it as u said, but whatever works best for you guys end of the day 🙌🏻💯
Yeah bro we’ll have a think about it and decide 👌
Good paji❤❤
Fix it lad then you can do head gaskets and make some money on some more cars it’s good to be able to do
id do a proper flush first get all the oil flushed out use a decent flush like millers, then do a proper coolant flush through the hoses and radiator. could of previsously had the head replaced but sll the shit is stillin the engine happened to me when i flushed it all went away. plus its not only the head gasket that causes oil and coolant to mix could be a faulty oil cooler but most likely is the head. best to get all the shit out of the engine otherwise the rest of the engine will get damaged leaving the mixed oil/coolant in there.
Yeah well give it a go and take it from there but it is most likely the head gasket appreciate it 👊
All depends on the value of the car and how much u paid. Probs an easy job to engineer swap it. Try find a decent engine.
Yeah will have a look into it bro 👊
Definitely say sell it lads because it ain’t worth repairing these engines are terrible and blow up my mate had one and didn’t even last 6 months
I agree 100%!
@@shifting_gearss get rid. It’s a BMW engine with a Peugeot badge on it. Awful engine.
