Radiator bleed screw positions on 2006 Peugeot Expert

Hello I'm trying to figure out where the radiator system bleeds points are on my 2006 Peugeot Expert?  It seems slightly different to my old van which was a 2000 Citroen Dispatch...even though to look at them the vans are almost identical.

If anyone has a 2005-7 Citroen Dispatch, Peugeot Expert or Fiat Scudo I would hope the positions are similar.  Thanks

if you have the DW10 1997cc HDI engine, it should be self bleeding. when i did the coolant change on mine i never had to do anything, just keep filling it up.
if you get working heaters you have enough coolant flow to take it for a drive. dont be afraid to gun the engine, high revs will push any air out of the system bringing it to the header tank.

my old fiat panda 4x4 gets air lock in the heater matrix, high revs soon push the air out.

also if after a few weeks your coolant low light comes on, dont worry. it will just be small pockets of air making its way to the header tank. just top up as needed, it will stop needing it.

My 2.0 hdi is also self bleeding although there is also a bleed screw above the thermostat which I assume all vehicles have.

Fun fact, a split self bleed pipe killed my old xsara picasso on a long drive. By the time the temp light came on the 1.6 hdi had already warped itself. I was able to bump start it to get the pistons moving a few hours later (and some more water) and drive it home where it died for good in puff of smoke and no power at the very top of a hill by my house where I'd arranged for the scrap man to meet me.
