one on the top passenger side corner of the radiator, one on the thermostat housing, one at the back of the heater matrix hoses which looks like a cog and unscrews(well, on my radiator anyway, which is a standard Ordonez one) ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

As above, when the system is bled properly the heaters are very efficient indeed.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

replace the thermostat, and the heater matrix.oh and make sure the heater pipes are actually connected, I know a guy that bought a diesel 306 and wondered why the heaters didn't work... connected them up and coolant p**sed out in the cabin  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
