  • Peugeot 106 diesel coolant problem 4 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    Hi my 1.4 106 (1993) diesel is losing coolant from the expansion tank. It\'s spraying out of the cap over the tank. It\'s been losing coolant through a leak in the radiator for some time. It\'s had a head skim about 60,000 miles ago, current milage is 137,000. I top up the coolant when it goes below the limit, but coolant loss has obviously sped up since it started coming out of the cap.
