Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / September 2005306 starter motor solenoid problem
i own a 306 non turbo diesel. Recently i have been finding it difficult to turn the engine over, it just goes 'click'. I have an ai606 toad cat 1 alarm on there, was working fine and then started to deteriorate. Is it my solenoid? motor? please help Cheers all, Ian >i own a 306 non turbo diesel. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Is it my solenoid? motor? please help How old is the battery? Ron Robinson >i own a 306 non turbo diesel. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Is it my solenoid? motor? please help Sounds very much like a knackered battery.

But then it would still turn over, albeit very slowly - unless the battery was TOTALLY flat (unlikely). If he's just getting a click, and no other action, then it can only be the starter really ! >>> i own a 306 non turbo diesel. >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > was TOTALLY flat (unlikely).

If in doubt, turn on headlights, activate starter. If the lights go out, it's probably battery. Anyway, he says it isn't the battery, which leaves bad contacts somewhere, solenoid u/s or grotty starter. I think that's just about where he came in...

It is normally caused by dirty/loose/corroded battery terminals. Undo them, clean thoroughly (emery paper is good) and coat in Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) before reassembling.

Sticky starter, and/or sticky solenoid. They're very cheap from your local motorfactor - just replace it. cheers for the help, it isnt the battery, i wor for a car audio specialists and have tried all sorts of batteries etc.. and can only conclude that its the starter. will have to get a new solenoid from the factors. Cheers guys Next time it happens, just give the solenoid on the side of the starter awhack with a hammer and try it again. Chances are, if the solenoid IS the problem then this will get you started. > cheers for the help, it isnt the battery, i wor for a car audio > specialists > and have tried all sorts of batteries etc.. and can only conclude that its > the starter. will have to get a new solenoid from the factors.
