Re: 406 hdi 90 intermittent starting problem.

So I put the pressure regulator back in but the same symptoms still persist. I have managed to identify one consistent inconsistency though. If you switch the engine off by turning the key to ACC she will restart quite willingly, I did this probably 20 times with no problem. If you switch off by tur...

Re: 406 hdi 90 intermittent starting problem.

Thanks chaps. I removed the pressure regulator lastnight and it appears to be the type without filter. Am I right in thinking that when this is working correctly you should be able to hear a slight rattle when it is shaken? Like a pin moving up and down. It looked pretty clean, I removed the o rings...

406 hdi 90 intermittent starting problem.

Hello all I am a long time lurker and thanks to the car being bloody reliable I haven't had much need to post - until now! Since replacing the in tank pump for the second time the car has developed a starting problem. Sometimes you can jump in and she fires up straight away hot or cold. Sometimes yo...

Re: 98 2.1 TD exec igintion and starter issues

Great, will find out exactly where it is and give it a go, fingers crossed, sounds like an easy fix if it's just a case of repalcing that????? No such thing as an easy fix with Peugeots I know! Thanks again for your help, I won't be back with the car for a while as i'm working away. As soon as I hav...

Re: 98 2.1 TD exec igintion and starter issues

Ok I will, where abouts is the pre heater module? This is for the glow plugs I assume?

Don't think the loom is damaged, smoke was definately coming from the starter. None of the wiring was hot. Damned Peugeot electrics!!! :evil:

Re: 98 2.1 TD exec igintion and starter issues

No not being thick, probably me not being clear. I appreciate you spending time looking at this.
Basically replacing the ignition has solved nothing at all. Starter still comes on on the second click of the ignition instead of the sprung third and would keep going if the ignition wasn't switched off.

Re: 98 2.1 TD exec igintion and starter issues

Thanks, No the new ignition switch has good positive movements. Not massively concerned about the radio or blower unless they are linked to the starter problem, would just like to get her starting properly again!

Re: 98 2.1 TD exec igintion and starter issues

Hi, yes I replaced the whole lot but used the original black plastic ring that goes around the barrel to correspond with the key, keeping the original key next to it so the immobiliser is ok.

98 2.1 TD exec igintion and starter issues

Hello, i'm new here and glad to have found the site! A bit of history on the problem: Around 6 months ago I was unable to switch off my car, the ignition barrel had somehow jammed, whilst moving it around trying to turn the key I noticed the heater panel was switching on and off. I left the car tick...
