Location of the antifreeze reservoir

Antifreeze in the Peugeot 308 is located in the engine compartment, in a special plastic tank. The tank is made of durable plastic. On its surface there is a filler neck and fittings that are connected to the elements of the cooling system. The shape of the expansion tank can be different, it depends on the make of the vehicle and its technical equipment.

The required oil level in the tank is marked with MAX and MIN measurements.

The expansion tank under the hood is intended solely for filling fluid. In order to drain the coolant, you need to crawl under the pan and unscrew the drain plug.

The procedure for replacing antifreeze in a Peugeot 308 car consists of the following steps:

1. Draining liquid;
2. Flushing the cooling system;
3. Pouring new mortar;
4. Checking the operation of antifreeze.

The entire process of replacing the coolant will not take more than 2 hours.

Draining the liquid and flushing the system

In order to replace the coolant in a Peugeot 308 yourself, you will need to prepare the following tools:

1. Standard wrenches and screwdriver;
2. Watering can;
3. Empty containers for draining waste;
4. New antifreeze;
5. Clean rags.

The procedure for draining the liquid and flushing the cooling system:

1. Initially, you need to drive the car over the overpass and turn off the engine;
2. Then you need to gain access to the drain neck. To do this, you need to connect the crankcase protection;
3. Place the container and carefully unscrew the expansion tank valve clockwise;
4. It will also be necessary to disconnect the fittings and direct their ends into the container.

After the oil has been drained, it is necessary to flush the cooling system. To do this, a special solution is made, consisting of new antifreeze and distilled water, in a ratio of 1 to 1. This mixture is poured into the expansion barrel under the hood to the maximum mark. After this, the engine is started at full power and remains running for 10 minutes. Next, you should drain the waste and repeat the procedure at least three times.

Filling with new antifreeze

New antifreeze is poured into the Peugeot 308 car to the maximum mark on the expansion tank. After this, you will need to start the engine. This way the liquid is distributed evenly throughout the cooling system. You can also make a test drive.

In working condition, the liquid is less viscous, which means its level may decrease. After the trip, antifreeze will need to be added.

Payment via Portmone

After selecting payment through Portmone, the payment system will launch, where you need to select the payment method: bank card or Portmone account.

The price in the Portmone payment system is converted into dollars at the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the country where you are located.

After specifying payment details and confirming payment, payment for the goods will occur.

Leaks and problems

The main reasons associated with antifreeze leakage lie in ignorance of certain details. In the Peugeot 308, such a small thing is the coolant reservoir cap. It has two valves, inlet and outlet, to maintain an optimal system pressure of 1.4 bar.

Coolant reservoir cap

To avoid jamming, the valves must be periodically washed, and the plug itself must be changed every 2 years. When the valve jams, the pressure in the system increases and, as a result, antifreeze leaks in a weaker place.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to diagnose a jammed valve, so the best solution would be to replace it, especially since the cap is not expensive.

Leaks in the Peugeot 308 cooling system, if they do occur, in most cases are not difficult to determine the location. As usual, this could be leaky pipes or a water pump, from which the leak will be noticeable on the timing belt guard.

Liquid may also leak from the thermostat, but this problem may not be immediately detected, since this place is covered by the installed air filter housing.

Payment via PayPal

Changing the coolant of Peugeot 308

Typically, the coolant is replaced during routine maintenance. But in some cases, the fluid is changed before it reaches the end of its service life, for example, after a repair has been carried out that involves draining the antifreeze.

Replacement instructions are suitable for Peugeot models with an EP6 (EP3) engine:

• Peugeot 308
• Peugeot 208

The EP6 (EP3) engine was installed not only in Peugeot cars, but also in Citroen, BMW, and Mini Cooper. There are many variations of this power plant, but the 1.6 120 hp is considered more popular in our country.

Draining waste fluid

The Peugeot 308 does not have drain plugs, so the liquid must be drained by removing the pipes. To access them, you need to remove the original protection from below (Fig. 1).

Fig.1 Engine protection from below

It is secured with 8 bolts:

• 2 at the rear, turnkey for 16;
• on the sides 4, turnkey 10;
• in the front part, 2 turnkey for 13.

After gaining access, we proceed directly to the drain:

1. place the drain container and unscrew the lower radiator hose (Fig. 2); Fig.2 Draining from the lower hose
2. if in your modification there is a hose running underneath the radiator, it also needs to be disconnected (Fig. 3); Fig.3 Hose under the radiator
3. remove the plug from the expansion tank to allow air to enter the system and drain it as quickly as possible;
4. to access the two air removal holes, you need to remove the air filter (Fig. 4); Fig.4 Air filter
5. unscrew the first plug from the thermostat (Fig. 5); Fig.5 Plug on the thermostat
6. remove the second plug, which is located on the upper hose going to the stove (Fig. 6); Fig.6 Plug on the stove hose
7. To drain antifreeze from the cylinder block, remove the lower pipe going to the engine (Fig. 7). Fig.7 Lower pipe to the engine

In this way, we drain the antifreeze from the Peugeot 308 as much as possible, but you need to understand that some of the liquid still remains in the cabin heater and some pipes.

Flushing the cooling system

If you think that your cooling system is heavily clogged with deposits, you can use specialized flushes. For these purposes, chemicals from any well-known manufacturer are suitable, for example, Hi Gear 7-minute wash.

Before flushing the system, do not forget to reinstall everything that we removed when draining.

If you plan to change the brand of antifreeze, then flushing with distilled water is suitable. For this procedure, a 20 liter canister is sufficient. It will be enough for 3-4 runs.

Filling with new antifreeze without air pockets

When the old fluid has been drained and the system is completely clean, you can begin to fill in new antifreeze. We check again the pipes that we should have put in place, and leave the air outlet holes open.

Let's start filling the system:

1. pour antifreeze into the cooling tank to the maximum mark (Fig. 1); Fig.1 Coolant fill
2. We wait until all the air comes out through the special holes and the antifreeze flows. After this, we close it with the plastic plugs that we removed (Fig. 2); Fig.2 Air release
3. check the antifreeze in the expansion tank and add to the required level;
4. start the engine and let the car warm up to operating temperature;
5. Check the coolant level again.

Do-it-yourself filling and replacement is complete, but you need to remember that after the first day of operation you should check the fluid level in the tank.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.

Replacement frequency, what antifreeze to fill

The original antifreeze poured into the Peugeot 308 has a blue-green color and a G11 approval; PSA Longlife produces it under its own label. But in fact, this is the usual GLYSANTIN G33, which is produced by BASF. PSA Longlife markings for antifreeze are 9735.K1, 9735.K0, and for concentrate 9735.K4.

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the fluid must be replaced after 6 years or 120,000 km. But as experience shows, the factory fluid must be changed after 2 years of operation.

Based on the experience of motorists who own this brand, it is advisable to do a complete wash when replacing. Do not use the original antifreeze, but buy G12 or a higher class and switch to it.
