#1: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:04 pm ---- Hi guys,
After some help please!
My car is just not starting!
I turn the key and can hear it just about to start but then it doesnt!
So it gets real close but then stops.
Any idea on what I can start with?
edit: I must add, recently it hasnt been idling smoothly. If that helps to understand what it could be? Last edited by DJ- on Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:30 pm; edited 1 time in total

#3: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:20 pm ---- How can I tell?
Its that what I can hear before I fully turn the key to start?
#4: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: rallakias, Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:34 pm ---- Yes it's a sound underneath the rear seat... If the pump works fine maybe check the plug of the crankshaft sensor..or maybe the spark plugs
#5: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 3:12 am ---- ok update. It started fine today multiple times. On the first go it took a few seconds but did start.
For the first time, there was this tapping noise from the engine near the coilpack/spark/injector area.
Any ideas? Might change the coilpack first?
It still wasnt idling smoothly either.

#9: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 9:33 am ---- Valve clearance and VVT solenoid. Right, both on my list.
Let me check the Haynes for directions and report back after its stopped raining

#11: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 9:47 am ---- Okay!
Also, I just remembered. When I plugged into the OBDII port, one of the readings is for the throttle and it showed on even when not pressing it (like 1.7% or something!).
Do I also need to think about an idle control valve? (I know its drivebywire so unsure how this ties with idle control )
#12: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 9:52 am ---- Fly by wire throttle on ET3.
The throttle body is a known weak spot, I had to replace the one on my GFs 206 due to poor idle & throttle control.
#13: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 9:54 am ---- Alright, appreciate the pointers mate. Given me somewhere to start!
#14: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:01 am ---- A good 2nd hand throttle body & resetting auto adaptation cured the GFs 206.
Software update is also worth it for the ET3 lump.
There's a manufacturer part number on the throttle body, you can use that to match it up as its used on plenty of other PSA products.

When you say non start, no cranking or turning over?
#16: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:05 am ---- Can't get the vvt solenoid out! Took the bolt off..it jiggles side to side but not up!
#17: Re: 206 not starting - help! Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:24 am ---- There a tight fit & IIRC there's an o ring seal.
