Hi, this problem started back about a month ago when out of the blue i noticed the temperature needle round in the red. I dropped it into my local Peugeot dealer and they carried out a pressure test which came back fine so just changed the thermostat. Now when the car is running idle or moving slowly through traffic it overheats fairly quickly.

Has anyone else on here experienced this and if so what was the issue and how was it resolved?

Thanks in anticipation

Did the pug garage change the thermostat? They probably didnt bleed the system properly knowing pug Doh
