What would cause my peugeot 306 to overheat?

Answer 1

Well first things first it depends on the model of 306, on my TD GLX It was the rad that blew out and was pissing water out of the weld, however I'm not sure if it's a combined effort at the same time the rad fan on the front went bang, if this is the problem it's not all that expensive repair, go to the scrap yard and normally you can pick them up for £50 However the other things it can be aren't so cheap, for starters this is a tell tale sign of the headgasket being on it's way out this can be repaired/rebuilt however it is about £300 on a rebuild or around £700 to replace. Or it could be crude oil depending on when you last had the car serviced, This problem can be caused by so many different things this is the problem without being able to look over the car it is extremely difficult to figure out what the problem could be, I hope this gives you a starting point, by the way a common thing to happen when the head is on it's way out is the pipes from the rad will become rock solid and feel as if they are unmovable
