#1: Pre plexed not starting Author: Chris201009, Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 6:15 am ---- Hi guys
My 1.1 206 pre plexed won't start, I think it may be the battery, however I'm not sure. If anyone could give any advice or offer suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

#3: Re: Pre plexed not starting Author: Chris201009, Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 7:06 am ---- Nothing really, turn the key and get the usual lights on the dash n not much more than that other than a ticking noise
#4: Re: Pre plexed not starting Author: 20Drift, Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 7:28 am ---- Do you hear the starter motor turn at all?
#5: Re: Pre plexed not starting Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 7:33 am ---- go and get some jump leads! Might be a battery!

Sounds like the battery, doesn't always have to be something major. Start with the easiest options.

Might be sticking.

Don't jump start a 206 as there is a very real risk of damaging control units.
It can take months for problems to appear and diagnosing them is often a pain.
A lot of people will say I've done it loads of times and no problem but there's too many factors that affect this issue to be sure.
It is much better to isolate battery (dis-connect) and use a charging unit for the job, unless in an emergency situation.

I am saying this, as an assumption that the car has been starting ok in the last 24 hours or so.
If it was the battery then normaly you would still have a bit of life still there, turning over, but not quite starting, then a few more attempts, until nothing at all.

#12: Re: Pre plexed not starting Author: Chris201009, Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 2:58 pm ---- Thanks for all the advice guys,
I've had the battery on charge since yesterday put it back on n it fired up first time.
Problem solved
