Since the weather became cold I have had problems starting my Peugeot 106.
The symptoms were typical of faulty ( o/c ) glow plugs.
On Sunday I fitted two new ones but blindly because I did not have a test meter with me. It made no difference! So I swapped over one of the old ones but still no start.
Today, I applied battery voltage directly to the plugs and it started immediately.
Later I will see what voltage is getting to the plugs but its obviously not enough.
Where and what is the device that times the plug activation? How does it monitor engine temperature?
I have not encountered this before on any diesel cars. Is it common and is there any particularly likely cause of the voltage loss?
