Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2006206 won't turn over
When I try to start my 206 1.4 HDi nothing happens, the ignition light and everything else come on but other than what sounds like a relay kicking in there is nothing, even the solenoid doesn't make a sound. It diod this a couple of weeks ago but after a few attempts it started but tonight i had to push start it. it starts ok now but is bound to let me down again. Anyone know what the problem is, the battery leads seem ok  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com How do you know the leads are ok? when it has happened to me in the past, it has generally been resolved by tapping/re-securing the connection to the battery. On one other instance, I had trouble with an earth connection down near the solenoid, and on another occasion, a sticky solenoid. With the latter, a thump with a hammer generally released it (until some months later I got around to replacing the starter). > When I try to start my 206 1.4 HDi nothing happens, the ignition light and > everything else come on but other than what sounds like a relay kicking in > there is nothing, even the solenoid doesn't make a sound.

Start by checking that all earth straps and the Peugeot battery patent clamps are clean not corroded and making good contact. Next time it happens switch on to full beam and then try to start the car. IF the lights dim appreciably you either have a stuck solenoid or poor contact in the battery live or earth wires.

The battery leads are securely fixed and are clean (at the battery end anyway). I did the thing with the lights but they didn't go dim when I turned the key. The annoying thing is that the car starts perfectly now after bump starting it. It did the same thing a few weeks ago but after trying 7 or 8 times it suddenly turned over > The best time to find this type of fault is when it is present else you > are [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> > -- >> > Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Just a educated guess,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Sounds like your going to need a starter motor soon,, Fitzy Forever" <me@ourhouse.com> wrote in message news:45263337$0$19612$88260bb3@free.teranews.com... > Thanks for the replies.

Burnt out armature winding, worn brushes not making contact, solenoid not making contact, a broken lead between battery and starter, pre-engaged fork not operating etc. etc. "> If the lights don't dim then current is not going through the starter for > one of various reasons.

Oh well, more expense.

Probably looking at £30 repair, or £70 replacement. ??what about eBay ??

Sod's law though that I'll have the starter replaced and in a few weeks time the f***er will break down again. SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Optimism is a wonderful thing my friend, Cars where basically designed to breakdown, even RRoyce, we just hope they don't !!!
