Halfords has the booklet thing, you look up the car and it tells you what Pug recommend you put in it, and what grade.

I just read a bit of the Haynes Manual and it says you should use the same anti freeze when topping up. I only put half a cup full in anyway so should be OK.

I'll get my arse down to Halfords tomorrow and get some oil and anti freeze

I haven't got a hand book, only the service book which says nothing about oil.

why don;t you look in the hand book for what oil it takes. probably 10w40 semisynth. as for topping up your rad do it with 50/50 water/coolent.

What are you meant to put in :lol:

Just topped it up with tap water, oh shit

but with water? tap water?

u know how much chloride is in that, it will burn a hole thru ur radiator, then ya in trouble

Raditor coolant -- it needed topping up a bit :lol:

Will drain it and do a proper job :lol:

u put water in the coolant? :!

wtf ya go do that for?

It's a bit like that now :lol: Sometimes dies :lol: I think the coolant and engine oil need changing. I fucked the coolant up by putting in to much water :lol:

idle will be all up and down, wont run right until the filter has bedded in

Yeah i'm gonna do the filter too. What do you mean it will run lumpy?

i wouldnt change the filter mind, cause ur engine will run 'lumpy' for a few hundred miles after ya do

Thanks Drew. I'll get dirty next Wednesday :lol:

yeah - fully is thinner

turbo engines need the thicker stuff so the oil sits in the turbo after ya switch off

Is the semi stuff thicker then?

i belive the 1.1 uses full syn

cossies etc use the semi stuff, but the low engine cars use the fully syn stuff

That's Drew but what type do they use? I've seen something called semi symatic and full symatic but dunno what to go for.

ur car is a 1.1 106 aint it?

think they use that mobil 1 most the time as thats for everyday cars :)

Posted the question a PGAC now so hopefully i get a reply. If anyone else want to know visit: http://www.peugeot-gti.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79572

Just wanna know the type. Phone Peugeot but they wouldn't tell me and tried to book me in for a £70 service :lol:

does it matter? Just get the correct tpye. Its all the same.

What engine oil PEUGEOT use :boggle: Not bothered what make, just what type. Gonna change mine :D
