My 1998 Peugeot 406 starts okay when cold but sometimes when hot turns the engine but does not start. Peugeot dealer could not recreate fault. Immobiliser now disconnected but fault recurred. Any possibility of bimetallic strip failing in fuel injector ? Any other ideas ? (Nb low temperature cooling fan not working so car gets hot in slow traffic or on idle) Thanks Peter Heaps

The symptoms you have given sound to me like the timing could be off. Could be crossed wires or improperly aligned timing gears during the replacement of the belt.

The coil pack must be renewed. Go to Beru's dealer to buy or order a new one exactly for your engine. It costs about half the price from Peugeot.

Sounds as though it may be the Throttle Position Sensor. TPS. It is on e the throttle body and sets the idle of the engine.

have heating in my peugeot 406 hdi when car is ticking over but when i drive for few mins the heater goes cold

Injector leak down problem.

May be diesel injection pump is not producing enough pressure in 3 - 4 cycles of first engine start attempts or the glow plugs have gone.
try it first;
start the engine from cold and let it run for 1 or 2 minutes (enough to produce the diesel line injector pressure) and then turn the key off. Restart the engine again and if it start in the first attempt then one of the above mentioned fault is causing the problem.

immobiliser problem main dealer me thinks

can you help my pug 206 when starting from cold engine seems like it,s only firing on three cylinders then when engine is hot seems okay but looses power on hills 206 automatic 1.4 engine if anyone can help

If the starter motor is sticking, it can draw a large current. If there is power down to the starter motor while its not starting then the starter is faulty. You can test this with a multimeter or just a test bulb connected to the smaller of the two wires on the starter, while cranking.Check you have a good earth from the battery to the engine. If the bulb lights up but no engine cranking then its a faulty starter.
