Hi everyone
Been through the Wiki and cant find an answer to this one
So ive rebuilt my late type 1.9 DG WBX engine and all is good, timed up well, couple of silly oil drips from a broken sensor and valve cover leak to sort but all is good
Problem i have is the cold start on the senders from the water temp, LH side at the rear.
One sender is Black and connects OK with a green plug, the other is a Red plug (Relay in the box clicks) but the sensor lugs are too big for the plug so have added wires to connect the 2 as a temporary measure, cant remember it being connected prior to me removing the engine.
So my van has idled through 10 liters of fuel real quick, literally, hence my thinking the choke isn't coming off, how do i test to check this as the manual choke is fine and comes off ok?
It idles to the point of the radiator fan kicking in and gets hot as expected
any ideas welcome

Look up James akers on YouTube he does a good rebuild video of the pierburg carb. That is if you have that one fitted.

Hi
Yes i've seen it last time round when i rebuilt the carb, great blog he has and have recommended others to it, especially the idle cam mechanism explanation
I don't think its a mechanical issue i am having hence my post about how to check the senders are working correctly and switching on/off when they're supposed to
cheers
