#1: Wont start but turning over Author: DangGina, Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2012 1:14 pm ---- Hi all
Just had the 206 fully serviced, cam belt water pump and my old problem with oil in the water tank was most likely a hg that had already been replaced.
Saturday drove to heathrow and back then got in car hour later and wouldnt start, engine turned over but wouldnt fire up.
AA came out and jacked up left side of car (was low on fuel) and gave the underside of the fuel tank a good bang and it started fine, drove straight to petrol station and put in.
drove to work and back twice and then tonight get in and wont start again same problem, tried smackign the fuel tank again but no luck.
does this indicate a fualty fuel pump? AA said it sometimes 'gets stuck' but there's a quarter tank of fuel in there and car wasnt on a camber.
left it overnight but has anyone had anything like a faulty petrol gauge reading more fuel than there is?

When you try to start yours does your engine temp gauge needle move 3 times from cold to hot?
#4: Re: Wont start but turning over Author: DangGina, Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:34 am ---- hmmm. same this am, wont start.
gave the fuel tank a good bang but no joy. appears heaters and AC are not working now either? Does this most likely indicate a wiring problem?
Will get the AA out this avro in the meantime. dont really want to spend out much more on this motor.
#5: Re: Wont start but turning over Author: DangGina, Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:39 am ---- should i disconnect the batter for a few hours to try and reset the ECU?
#6: Re: Wont start but turning over Author: DangGina, Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 10:14 am ---- AA been out and its the fuel pump...what am I looking at cost wise to get this replaced or can this be a home job (as in not me but a mate who has tools)

Then just put the new one in place and connect it all back up.

Was going to say I have a decent 2.0l gti pump floating about you could have bought, but could try local breakers?

If it really is that simple I could defo give it a go.
