Hi,

My solution to a similar problem, coolant leaking from water pump, was to just find a local dealer in the correct type of car (cars now have lots of electronics specific to a manufacturer and car model for diagnostics) and talk to several dealers by phone in English. How to find a local dealer? Try DuckDuckGo (other search engines are available) and put in something like "Albufeira Peugeot Dealer". I had new water pump, cam belt, tensioner and coolant The non English speaking mechanic of many years experience also arranged for his wife to take me back to town and get the phone number of the hotel so he could call them when it was ready for collection.
