emerging from the highest bleed screw in the
cooling system and all bleed screws are
securely tightened. Keep the “header tank”
full during this procedure.
24 Once all the bleed screws are securely
tightened, remove the “header tank” and refit
the expansion tank cap.
25 Start the engine, and run it at 1500 rpm.
Maintain this engine speed until the radiator
cooling fan has cut in and out three times.
26 Allow the engine to run at idle speed for a
few minutes.
27 Stop the engine, and wait for at least ten
minutes.
28 Place a large wad of rag around the
expansion tank cap, and around your hand,
then carefully remove the expansion tank cap.
Turn the cap anti-clockwise until it reaches
the first stop. Wait until any pressure
remaining in the system is released, then push
the cap down, turn it anti-clockwise to the
second stop, and lift it off.
29 Check the coolant level, and if necessary
top-up the expansion tank to just above the
“MAXI” level mark (see “Weekly checks”).
30 Refit the expansion tank cap.
Antifreeze mixture
31 The antifreeze should always be renewed
at the specified intervals. This is necessary
not only to maintain the antifreeze properties,
but also to prevent corrosion which would
otherwise occur as the corrosion inhibitors
become progressively less effective.
32 Always use an ethylene-glycol based
antifreeze which is suitable for use in mixed-
metal cooling systems. The quantity of
antifreeze and levels of protection are
indicated in the Specifications.
33 Before adding antifreeze, the cooling
system should be completely drained,
preferably flushed, and all hoses checked for
condition and security.
34 After filling with antifreeze, a label should
be attached to the expansion tank, stating the
type and concentration of antifreeze used,
and the date installed. Any subsequent
topping-up should be made with the same
type and concentration of antifreeze.
35 Do not use engine antifreeze in the
windscreen/tailgate washer system, as it will
cause damage to the vehicle paintwork. A
screenwash additive should be added to the
washer system in the quantities stated on the
bottle.

Note: On models from 1994, the maker’s
specified interval for this procedure is
36 000 miles (60 000 km).
TU models
1 Slacken the retaining clips (where fitted),
and disconnect the vacuum hose and
breather hose from the front of the air cleaner
housing-to-carburettor/throttle body duct
(see illustration). Where the crimped-type
Peugeot hose clips are fitted, cut the clips and
discard them; use standard worm-drive hose
clips on refitting.
2 Slacken the retaining clip securing the duct
to the carburettor/throttle body. Release the
retaining clips securing the lid to the top of the
air cleaner housing. Lift the duct and air
cleaner lid assembly away, and position it
clear of the air cleaner housing (see
illustrations).
3 Lift the air cleaner element out of the
housing (see illustration).
4 Fit the new element into the housing, and
secure it in position with the retaining clips.
5 Refit the sealing ring to the top of the filter
(where fitted), and refit the air cleaner-to-
carburettor/throttle body duct. Ensure that the
duct and its sealing rings are correctly seated,
and securely tighten the retaining clips.
6 Reconnect the vacuum and breather hoses
to the duct, and secure them in position with
the retaining clips (where fitted).
XU models
(except XU10J4 16-valve)
with side-mounted air cleaner
7 Disconnect the air duct from the filter
housing cover to the carburettor/airflow meter
at the filter housing end (see illustration).
8 Release the clips and lift off the air cleaner
top cover (see illustration).
9 Withdraw the filter element from the air
cleaner body (see illustration).
10 Fit the new element in position in the air
cleaner body making sure that it is the right
way round.
