Over pressuring on a Peugeot diesel is a sign that the head gasket is on it's way out. You can postpone the inevitable with a bottle of K-Seal but it'll need doing sooner or later. A mate's wife had a 306 estate that started doing it so he took it in for MoT so he could flog it quick with a years ticket. While in the MoT bay with the testers head under the bonnet and the engine running, there was a loud pop and the tester emerged from under the bonnet covered in anti-freeze as the pressure had split the header tank......
It won't get into the oil or try to burn coolant, it'll just put combustion gases into the cooling system.
That might explain why the coolant felt really greasy...
It has to last until Friday. I shall then persuade my parents to let me flog it pronto!!
Anyone got a cheap bike for sale? :rolleyes
