My 2008 C3 1.4 HDI has just warned me the engine was over heating, further examination, saw water leaking from the base of the plastic thermostat housing. on the end engine by the battery etc, any advice on replacing the part?

If you need any fresh anti freeze, Citroen dealers own brand is the Glysantin G33 noted in the Haynes C3 manual, and has part no. 9735.K4 and last time I bought some was no dearer than other makes.

Haynes seems to cover the part replacement but it may help to jack up the front left corner to help minimise anti freeze loss and bleed any air out - getting the air out of our 1.4 petrol took some doing, possibly since I did not bother with the header tank shown in Haynes on the expansion tank. Depending on how much mess you want to make, it may be tempting to drain the anti freeze by just undoing the hose on the housing over a container, but I have not done this job on the hdi so can not really comment.

Thanks Paul, After reading quite a lot off reports bleeding seems a big problem, plus the weather forcast of rain, as working outside to do the job decided to go to a garage.

Thanks
