The fuel system is standard issue diesel, it has a fuel pump on the timing chain. It is possible but unlikely it, or the camshaft, moved unless you have mega-miles on the engine. I believe that engine has a French Rotodiesel pump, its ok but not as good as Bosch. Some blue-ish white-ish smoke from the tail pipe is okey, especially if you're cranking a lot without it starting.
I found a local and good supply of new and used Peugeot parts. Its European Auto Service, 18520 Wyandotte St, Reseda, CA 90335. 818-343-7284. A while back I was by there and there were a couple of Arabs with a cargo container and Sawz-Alls, they were collecting Peugeots and cutting them up to send the pieces back home, I guess Arabs aren't very good drivers.

Please lit us know the out come here. I owned a 504 years ago but the engine ran great so I'm no help but I think at 7 degrees things have to be in top shape, starter, GPs and compression to start a diesel. Let us know, good luck

My tractor has a connection under the steering wheel where, when it is REALLY, REALLY cold, you can jam an ether can and squirt the juice right into the intake manifold...it's box stock and looks like the banjo connection from the intake to the ALDA on a Benzo. The Deere is a DI engine so it's relatively low compression and doesn't have any GPs either. I haven't ever needed to squirt it...but, it's only been down to the low 30s since I bought it. Hit the switch and she fires right off!

No Belts in Peugeot fuel system. Injection pump is driven by chain, very unlikely to be a problem for your no start condition.
The thing I like about trouble-shooting diesels is that it is much simpler than a gas engine. Its either fuel, or glow plugs. Are you SURE the glow plugs are heating? You will need them at those temps. Changing the oil was a good move. So was charging the battery. If I remember my Peugeot Diesels, there is a hose connecting the Air filter to the intake manifold. Since you have electricity, you may be able to try this trick. Insert a hairdryer nozzle into the hose leading to the intake manifold. Leave it "on" for 5 minutes, or more, blowing hot air into the engine. Then try to start it. The hairdryer should provide enough heat to encourage ignition. Good Luck |

peugeot
I have narrowed it down to the pre-heat control box.
Engine has lots of everything good. I popped the cover on box and it looks like a coil, spring and points. the points go in and out when i turn the key but no heat to the glow plugs. They are as cold as the engine block, Thanks everyone. you really helped. (pre heat control box. go figure. Alaska to key west and now in colorado going to Az. This, a belt in B.C. and new tires are all this baby has had. (battery,glow plugs, oil change) I got it and my 2 mt.bikes and she got the 911 and dog. Starting to think I did better in the divorce. |

peugeot parts
Besides the place listed for parts in other post, i have had success with Disortex in houston. 800-833-3839. Guess they bought out a bunch of peugeot supplies, Great help and friendly people.
Ok off to order 1 preheat control box. Thanks all. |

but the dog ate way to much And the 911 could never hit the 51 mpg i get now at 68mph hwy, of course my little 505 diesel will never go over 100mph. lower insurance, less tickets. Didnt like the dog that much anyway. |

You should put a voltmeter on the glow plugs and check it before you spend time and money on a glow plug relay box. I'm not sure the glow plugs firmly screwed into a frozen cylinder head would show any warmth. A trick would be to clip a jumper from the glow plugs to the battery for a minute or so and then try and start it.

Assuming a 12 Volt light tester
Yes.

I've never looked at a Peugeot but I'm guessing that the controller simply operates a relay that switches the power to the GPs (think of it as a remote switch). Since relays generally are pretty reliable and that one of yours sounds like it is pulling in and probably making contact, you might just have a problem with the high current circuit to the GPs that is handled by the relay. If there's no juice to that side of the relay, replacing the controller may not solve your problem. Power should be going to the controller in some fairly large, high current wire (10ga maybe?) along with the smaller (14ga?) wire that operates the relay. With the key on, the bigger wire going to the controller should have voltage on it. With the controller relay energized, there should voltage be on a similar wire or wires that go from the relay to the GPs. No juice to the controller's relay contact, no workee the GPs.!
