#1: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 3:38 pm ---- Hey guys having some problems with my Y reg 206 2.0 HDI so thought I would see if you could help.
The car doesnt want to start at all - turns over but not firing.
After moving through the gears whilst trying to start it I was surprised that it did fire up and worked fine so long as the revs were held on but would not idle on its own.
I have read a few posts on various forums and have seen a few similar issues solved by a dodgy earth strap to gearbox. I was wondering if this could be my problem? I presume I need to take battery off and strip the plastic battery box out to get to this earth strap?
One more thing to mention is after having a look around today I noticed a white eletrical connector hanging down on its own in front of radiator. I couldnt see anywhere obvious where this was from. Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks

#4: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 12:51 pm ---- Sorry..... it was the fuel inertia switch that needed resetting! something so simple
#5: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 12:59 pm ---- I meant to mention that although Ive got it running and everything seems good there is still the small white connector hanging down.
Any ideas what this could be anyone?????????

#14: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 8:55 am ---- Well all WAS going well but yesterday morning the car wouldnt start again! Ive tried the inertia switch again but no look. Ive checked and cleaned the earth and all seems fine but still no joy.
Can anyone help on this as it is getting very frustrating now. Not sure if the loose connector is playing any part in this problem but cannot see where it is supposed to go.
The car seemed fine after resetting the inertia switch and I used it for a couple of long journeys but now this! ARGH! help.

It depends what trim level yours is, like the Dturbo has an oil temp gauge and if yours doesn't the car will still be wired for one i believe
#16: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 12:54 pm ---- Had a look and there's nothing hanging down at the front on mine, could see plenty of grey plugs around the lower engine like oil pressure switch and fuel pump stop switch but no obvious white plugs.
but it is dark and my torch is abit s**t so will have a better look in daylight if you don't suss it out
#17: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 3:57 pm ---- Thanks for replying. Mine is the HDI LX
I dont have an oil temp gauge on the car so I hope it is something like you say but I still cant seem to bottom my problem of not starting anymore.
Hope the light tomorrow reveals a bit more
#18: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:03 pm ---- no worries, i'll have a good look tommorow!
I can also ask my mate he's a peugeot tech where as i used to be citroen but the engine was used in both makes so between us should work it out
#19: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:13 pm ---- couldn't see sod all white connector wise on mine so im stumped to be honest, most are the normal grey and red connectors all over the engine!!
Have you had any joy from else where?
#20: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:09 am ---- Thanks for looking anyway.
Ive tried allsorts but still cant get it to fire. I really thought Id cured it after I found the fuel inertia switch and it worked but cannot seem to cure the problem now. Think it might be time to give up!
#21: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:52 am ---- Don't be daft mate its usually something obvious with these engines!!
So what I/we need to know is what its doing, is it turning over but not firing??
If so you will need to tell us if its getting fuel or not as thats a good way of ruling common faults out or not
#22: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:22 pm ---- Well it did fire up fine after restting inertia switch - I went for a good drive in it and all was well. Then a couple of days later wouldnt start at all. Its turning over fine but just not firing. Battery is fine, checked inertia switch again, check earth from gearbox and seems ok. Not sure what else to check????
Do you think it could be fuel pump or something? even though it seemed fine when it started other day.
The car occasionally fires when moving through gears whilst turning over if that means anything?
#23: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:46 pm ---- right, strange one really then mate because if it played up then ran now its stopped again, is there a chance the inertia switch itself is faulty??
I only ask as i have seen one or two go bad but i wouldn't like to give any more suggestions seen as i can't see the car for myself don't want to send you up the wrong path mentioning every part that could go wrong!!
Maybe worth full code read to start with
steve
#24: Re: 206 HDI starting / cutting out problems Author: tezzie2007, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 1:40 am ---- Yeah it could be that - I suppose it would make sense.
I think I will probably look into a full code read.
