09 Dispatch 1.6 Hdi Won't Turn Over

[Nicoteen]

Hallo all.

 

First time posting so be gently with me :-)

 

It started playing up last week when I it took 4 turns of the key before it made any attempt to start.

 

All I get now when I try start is a little click.

 

Had to bump start it to get it home last night.

 

I did notice a new warning light that comes on for a few seconds.... It looks like a mobile phone.

 

Can anyone please tell me what the symbol is or what may be wrong with this engine.

 

In anticipation of your help I thank you.

Welcome to the forum.

 

I could not see anything in the handbook that to me looks like a mobile phone, have a look yourself and see which it is. If you do not have the handbook it can be read/printed/saved on the service.citroen site. The warning lights come under Familiarisation, Warning Lights, page 26. http://service.citroen.com/ddb/ - you may need to select your language, Handbook pack, then your car.

 

If the engine does not turn over on the ignition key, then the first thing to check would be the battery in case it is flat. Without the engine running its voltage should be about 12.5 volts, with it running about 14.3 volts.

Hi Paul

 

Sorry bout delay in getting back to you, I actually lost track of this site until I struck another starting problem - that I will post shortly, So there I was, Just about to register on here when it asked me to use my old Email address and user name, I had totally forgot that I was already a member,  

 

Its only been 2 years since you replied to my post   So must better late than never, I thank you,  found the problem to be the starter motor needed changing, Think I got fleeced at €160 from a friend of a friend, But it worked, Just hope my new problem is cheaper to fix,

 

Thanks again Paul.
