#1: First peugeot Author: hatchy07, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 6:37 pm ---- Hi
Have just bought my first peugeot 206 51 plate, 1.9 diesal in white.
Its already been slightly modified, but could do with some TLC and some extras so am looking for some tips on what more could be added. Will post some pics soon to show you how it looks and whats been already done to it.
I also have a problem in the mornings when its cold, its struggles to start at first until after a few minutes and it runs just fine, the engine also moves alot on intitial start up when cold aswell.
Most of the lights behind the speedo and rev count arent working either
Any thoughts would be much appreciated

I wouldn't worry about it taking longer to start on cold mornings, happens my diesel too, just don't let it sit for more than 2 days in a frosty/cold week without starting it up and going for a spin as mine has failed to start twice on me because of that! Jump-started it no problem and its been flying since!

You might have a slightly blocked injector, thats why it runs roughly for a couple of minutes, try some diesel engine injector cleaner. It doesnt sound like a glow plug to me as once the engine had started the glow plugs aren't used as internal combustion takes over.
