Hey, my mate was in the 206 with me the other day and he saw me start it up and said i was doing it wrong because its a diesel....what i should do he said was turn the key twice so the electrics come up and then wait 5 seconds. Then turn it for the 3rd time to turn the engine over. Is that the correct way? I've always just put the key in and turned it fully to fire up the engine. Or does it not matter??
Its the first diesel car i've owned.

Most modern diesel you dont need to wait as the glow plugs will be hot enough to start.
I always wait until the fuel pump has stopped before starting up.

You shouldn't just jump in and turn the engine over on any car unless it has a carb and a mechanical fuel pump.

Does the Peugeot not have a glow plug light on the dash that illuminates when the ignition is turned on, and then goes out when the plugs have heated up. Every diesel I have driven had one, but as said, once the engine is warm you don't need to wait for the glow plugs, otherwise white van man would be sat there all day.
