No two starter motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Peugeot 206 ran from 1998 through to around 2009 as a single generation, so a 2001 and a 2003 car share the same basic platform — but fitment of the starter motor depends primarily on the engine code, not the year alone. If both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), the starter motors are very likely compatible. Give your engine code to the breaker so they can match it properly, as there were several different petrol and diesel units fitted across those years.
No — body style makes no difference to starter motor fitment on the Peugeot 206. The starter motor is determined by the engine, not how many doors the car has. Focus on matching the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type (manual or automatic) when asking a breaker for a quote.
Trim level doesn't affect starter motor fitment — a 206 LX, GLX, Roland Garros, or GTi with the same engine code will use the same starter motor. Where trims do differ is in the engine itself, so a 206 GTi with the 2.0 16v unit will need a different starter motor than a 1.4 petrol LX. Always confirm your engine code rather than relying on the trim name alone.
No — diesel and petrol engines require different starter motors, as diesel engines have a higher compression ratio and need a more powerful unit to crank them over. Make sure you specify your fuel type as well as your engine code when contacting a breaker. Mixing the two is one of the most common fitment mistakes on this model.
It can do — some starter motor variants differ between manual and automatic gearbox applications due to differences in the bellhousing and ring gear arrangement. When requesting a quote from a breaker, confirm whether your 206 is a manual or an automatic (including the 206 Automatic/Tiptronic variants) alongside your engine code. The breaker can then check whether the nose and mounting points are a match for your specific setup.
Starter motors themselves are not typically subject to ECU pairing in the way that some other components can be, but whether any coding or immobiliser considerations apply to your specific 206 is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number. This is particularly worth checking if your car has been modified or has had previous electrical work done. Don't assume either way — ask the breaker directly before purchasing.
