I have a peugeot 206 cc.
I have had some problems with it in the past.
But this new problem it says "Coolant Temp too high"
On the mini computer when I start the engine it has the Temp gage for the coolant is at the red zone and the oil Temp gets higher and lower all the time.
It has a stop sign and that is lit up and keeps flashing.
Also it's making a Noise the same Noise as when you have a door open or the boot open.

You're kidding, right???
Check your coolant level.
I'll bet it's low.
You know....in the radiator.....
Better yet, it sounds like you need to see a mechanic.

Oh dear!! Your car is overheating, the water in the radiator is there to cool the engine down to the correct temperature so as not to do any damage.
Things to check:-
1) Check the water level in your radiator/header tank.
2) Remove the oil filler cap on the engine and look inside to see if there is any white sludge on the cap. If so then there is a failure of the cylinder head gasket.
3) Turn the heater controls in the cab up to max temperature. If when the car is showing high temperature but the air coming from the air vent is cold we can determine that there is an air lock in the engine coolant.
4) If there is an air lock you need to look at the rubber hose that comes from the radiator to the engine, were the hose is attached to engine there will be a small metal cap screw. This screw is loosened to allow the air to escape.

this sounds like a loose motor mount, or transmission mount to me, I dont know about the coolant sensor in your car, but most sensors unscrew and can be replaced, Do not go to that shop again, look into getting a triple AAA card, it will save you money in the long run. And start asking friends and family where to take your car. Find a mechanic nearby who is kind of busy ( has three to five days worth of work) the fact that he is busy indicates he is good and has more work than he can handle (almost) even if you have to wait, at least you dont get ripped off too. Triple AAA also can recommend a shop who is a member of triple AAA I have used them in emergency situations, and not been ripped off by them.

Your car is over heating. Dont drive it for to long cause you can make the problem worse. Check the water pump and the thermostat. First go for the thermostat cause it is cheeper to fix. If that doesnt solve it then it is the pump. That should work. Good luck.

If as soon as you start it, the temp gauge goes right to red, then most likely your thermostat is stuck. Found in the intake manifold under the radiator hose.

You have a serious cooling system problem. Don't drive the car until you have it fixed. Severe engine damage could result if it hasn't already happened.

It could be a blown headgasket you have. Your oil temperature fluctuating could be caused by this. Have a pressure test at a garage to check this. Hope I am wrong!!

That's a relief. I thought you might be an engineer at Sellafield.
