#1: Glowplugs on a 2.0 HDi Author: Joe406, Location: StaffordshirePosted: Tue Dec 07, 2010 3:37 am ---- 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

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. Last edited by davek on Wed Dec 08, 2010 8:57 am; edited 1 time in total

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.

#5: Re: Glowplugs on a 2.0 HDi Author: troy, Location: llanelliPosted: Tue Dec 07, 2010 2:36 pm ---- 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

These engines just don't need them to start until it is very cold as they are very high compression and efficient.
