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.

If you have a bank card in a currency other than the dollar, then the money will be debited from the card at the rate of the Central Bank of your country at the time of the purchase.

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

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

If you already have a PayPal account, then you need to log into it and make a payment.

If you do not have a PayPal account and you want to pay using a bank card via PayPal, you need to click on the “Create an Account” button - shown with an arrow in the picture.

PayPal will then prompt you to select your country and provide your credit card information.

After specifying the information required to make the payment, you must click on the “Pay Now” button.

Location of the pump on the Peugeot

The water pump is screwed into a special niche on the right side of the engine. This niche is located under the camshaft pulley. The pump has its own pulley onto which the timing belt fits.

The pump on Peugeot cars is located under the camshaft

Thus, in order to remove the old pump, the Peugeot owner will first have to remove the timing belt and the front wheel. Without these manipulations you cannot get to the device.

Payment via WebMoney

After selecting payment via WebMoney, the payment system will launch, where you need to select the payment method: bank card or WebMoney wallet.

If you already have a WebMoney wallet, then you need to log into it and make a payment.

If you do not have a WebMoney wallet and you want to pay in another way, you need to select any of the methods that WebMoney offers and make the payment

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

Do-it-yourself methods for changing the oil on a Peugeot 307

The article discusses options for changing the oil in the Peugeot 307 power unit . Explains how the process occurs. What to pay attention to. Perhaps the information will become useful to you, and your knowledge base will be replenished with new, necessary information.

About the engine both jokingly and seriously

When we sit comfortably in the seat of our car and start the engine, what is the first thing we do? That's right, let's listen to the noise coming from under the hood. It is there that the iron heart of the car is installed, which we must take care of and replace the necessary consumables in a timely manner.

Check its condition, regularly make a technical diagnosis, visiting a painfully familiar service station. We can take a risk (or be stupid) by entrusting the care of the garage power unit to a master. If necessary, and just for fun, we delve into the car ourselves, check whether there are any leaks from under the bottom, and regularly change the oil. By the way, let's talk about changing the oil in the internal combustion engine?

Speculation and rumors

Our drivers are not used to trusting manufacturers' recommendations. There are two opinions on this matter. On the one hand, advice is given on the basis of carefully conducted tests. On the other hand, they (advice) are advisory in nature, and vehicle tests are carried out on good road surfaces.

What should our drivers who drive on roads that are not of European quality do? Are the recommendations for non-adapted vehicles suitable for our “asphalt”?

For example, according to the manufacturer’s recommendation, changing the oil in the power unit (engine) of the French Peugeot 307 must be done at certain intervals. In practice, the indicated periods under our conditions are shifted, and the frequency of engine oil changes is reduced. According to the French side, you just need to follow:

Our drivers still change the Peugeot 307 engine oil.

In practice, the engine oil is changed COMPLETELY!

Checking and replacing Peugeot 307 oil with 1.6 engine

What is needed to check the oil level in the power unit? First of all, you need to check for errors. A diagnostic tool is used for this.

The next stage is installing the Peugeot 307 on a lift. Perhaps put the car on a viewing hole. Installation is carried out on a horizontal surface.

On the handbrake of the car

The first signal to change the oil can be the service icon, which by default is usually set at 20,000 kilometers and serves as a countdown.

It is customary at an authorized dealer to change the oil and filter at the same time every 20,000 kilometers or 1 year, whichever comes first.

We make a replacement for Peugeot:

• We unscrew the filter, but not all the way, to allow the oil to drain into the pan.
• Then you need to remove the oil filler plug. For convenience, it is recommended to use a funnel and pipe. You can use a cylinder.
• Change the filter insert.
• We fill in the oil in the volume according to the manufacturer's regulations; for the 1.6 VTi TU5JP4 engine, 3.2 liters are required, taking into account the filter volume

Oil changes are carried out at intervals of operation of the Peugeot 307 every 6 months. Or 10,000 km of car mileage. When constantly driving a Peugeot 307 in difficult road and climatic conditions, it is necessary to change the oil in the power unit after three months or a mileage of 5000 km.

Extreme conditions include vehicle operation throughout almost the entire territory of the post-Soviet space.

The oil volume for replacement is 3.75 liters. These indicators include the oil filter and must also be replaced.

What are severe conditions that require oil changes more often than once every six months?

• These are short-term trips in a Peugeot 307 car, the range of which does not exceed 6 kilometers.
• Short trips at - ambient temperature for a distance of up to 16 km.
• If trips are accompanied by stops for a long time, when the power unit is constantly idling.
• Extreme operating conditions for a French-made vehicle include moving at low speed and frequently changing traffic modes in megacities with endless congestion and traffic jams.
• Frequent engine oil changes are required when the vehicle, in particular Peugeot, is operating in dusty areas.

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.

If you still have any questions, you can ask them using the feedback form, or write us an email at [email protected]

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.

Tell me what is happening: the antifreeze is running out, about 700-800 g. within 2 weeks, the check light comes on and the engine malfunctions, the engine starts to misfire and the car jerks, traction disappears. After adding antifreeze, everything returns to normal, and so on until the next time the antifreeze disappears. I went to the authorities and they couldn’t find any antifreeze leaks or the cause.

Yeah, and also knocks out the plug in ep6.

Is there any emulsion under the oil filler cap?

Look more carefully as written above. Check everything, you'll find whatever you like. When it’s hot, carefully crawl into the thermos with toilet paper, check the seam, and crawl under the pump. I haven't encountered any problems with the plug. Take out the dipstick again and see if the level is rising?

I also thought that the gasket had blown, everything was fine with the oil, I had to top it up as usual, there was no emulsion on the lid, the officials tested the entire engine twice, there were no leaks and that’s it. And there are no traces of antifreeze in the exhaust pipe. The fan also turns on constantly and thrashes like crazy. I just can’t understand the connection with low antifreeze levels and engine malfunction.
