Why does my 405’s check engine light come on when I start it?

What could damage my Peugeot 405 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided.

Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my Peugeot 405 radiator?

However, if you need to continue driving your 405 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
