My D Turbo will not start in this cold weather, even after 3-4 glowplug lights before turning over. The battery seems to be fine and manages to turn the car over for a while.
The breakdown bloke said he thinks its the glowplugs, so I am going to buy a set and try it.
I was just wondering if they are in a difficult location in the engine and whether its an easy job on a 206?
Thanks

I don't think it's an easy job.
IIRC there was a video on Youtube by a mechanic who shows you how to change them on a diesel van.
BTW: My car is garaged but still takes a few goes to fire up.

hell of a easy job, but id check them first as yuo dont wont to end up having one snap in the head. you do this by puting a live to the end on the glow plug and seeing if it gets grounded, simplest way is with a power probe, these are only about 10 to buy and come in handy allot
just abit of info but i work in a garage and 4 of us have cars with the 2.0 hdi in it, all are having trouble starting in the morning first time, everything is ok with all opur cars, i just turn the key on and off 10 times and it starts a little rough but its ok.

And if glow plugs dont fix it you have a fuel problem!

here you go buddy, the glow plugs are circled, there is a 8mm at the top with a wire on it, remove that and then you will see the glow plugs which i belleive is a 10mm, make sure you let lots of wd40 soak in before you remove them

Better chance of them coming out in one piece if you have the engine at full working temp prior to removal.

Your HDi won't actually use the glow plugs until it gets a lot colder, like down to 0 degrees.
These engines just don't need them to start until it is very cold as they are very high compression and efficient.
