#1: Is this correct for a diesel? Author: r1ch, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 5:25 am ---- 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.

I always wait until the fuel pump has stopped before starting up.

#12: Re: Is this correct for a diesel? Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 6:14 am ---- i always let the fuel pump finished the self primping cycle before i start the engine

Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 6:25 am ---- 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.
#14: Re: Is this correct for a diesel? Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 6:29 am ---- for any temperature over 0 degree the glow plug light will be off within 1/2 sec.
