My car is a peugeot 206 1.4 hdi, the garage have changed my fuel pump, but they are now saying it still wont start. because they are saying inside the key fob something is missing, i told them that i only changed the fob case and nothing else. the garage are now saying that they will have to have a electronic check done by one of theire electronic guys as they think this is what might be stopping the fuel pump from working. they have had my car for 2 weeks now' .and i feel i am getting excuse after excuse. can you help. thanks mr p.
THAT IS BS!!! Get the car out of there! The fuel pump has NOTHING to do with unlocking doors, alarms, or unlocking the trunk which is what key fobs generally do. They are LEACHES trying to figure a way to separate you from your hard earned money! Use your common sense...what does your key fob actually do? If your conclusion is the same as mine...scram! Find a REPUTABLE mechanic to work on your car or just do it yourself if you are inclined. It ain't rocket science!

it sounds like the ecm is picking up a low fluid level and going into self protect mode also known as limp in mode.. the problem you describe is typical of a vehical that is either low on coolant or low on oil. when the ecm senses a low coolant or oil level it will shut the engine down to keep it from damage. I f the levels are ok this would mean that there is a parameter issue within the ecm. my suggestion would be to have a diagnostic scan done on your vehicle. the ecm most likely will have active codes stored. this will give you a starting point as to how to repair the fault. do yourself a favor take it to a small independant shop and not a dealership. this will save you money on the labor costs alone. please rate the solution.....thanks
SOURCE: peugeot 206 glowplugs
If your not good at mechanicing I suggest you take the car to someone that is experenced.
The reason I say this that we have loads of cars into the workshop with glowpugs broken in the head of the engine with the result of us having to remove the cylinder head.
What happens is that the tip of the glowplug breaks in the head when being removed if it is not done properly.
There is a way that we have found that they can be removed easily without breaking them.
Firsty run the car engine until warm, then we pour a little Diesel fuel onto each plug & let them sit for 15mins or so.
Then we remove them with a deep socket 1/4" drive so we don't put to much pressure on them.
they should screw out easily but we turn them out 1 whole turn then back a 1/4 add a little more diesel ( thimble full) & gently screw them out.
If they start to get really tight screw in again a little then screw out again.
The nuts that hold on the wires just need to be nipped up with a small 8mm spanner, but do not over tighten.

fuel filter is under bonnet.under engine cover if fitted.filter is located in a plastic housing.the top of this housing can be removed to expose the filter.job will take apprx 1/2 hour.
SOURCE: car wont start on 206
you must fill the fuel filter housing with diesel to eliminate air pocket. if you don't have diesel, fill it with automatic transmission fluid. it will smoke for a few seconds, but it will run so fuel pump can catch up. don't touch throttle for a few seconds till you know that it is running on diesel and the tranny fluid is all used up.

did you try the spare key? are you sure it is an immobilizer light? what does the warning light look like, can you describe it? replacing the battery in the key will not help as it is not needed for the recognition of the key(this is done by an induced current).
