#1: 206 2.0 HDi - Ignition Turning Issues Author: jackwetson, Location: United KingdomPosted: Wed Nov 13, 2013 9:31 am ---- Hi There,
I'm experiencing an odd problem with my pug out of the blue.
Turning the key threw positions one and two is fine, but turning it into the 3rd position (start the engine) is very stiff and it sometimes gets stuck beyond position 3 and the engine makes a horrible "grinding" sounds.
Just wondering if anyone has any idea what might cause it to be sticking?

The grinding noise is the starter motor staying in position because key is sticking. An easy way to wear the teeth down on either the starter or the more expensive flywheel, which could cause issues later with the teeth failing to mesh properly.

I thought this may be the case, i've read in places about knocking the barrel with a pinhammer as it may be jammed. Any truth in this? And dont worry, im not sitting their letting it grind
