cold start on a 1.6td HELP

[budice83]

with the winter coming in so fast
1.6td jx engine
i hav been meaning to got my cold start sorted out but not to sure how it works and the wire which go to the pump has been cut off if anyone got some info or if you can point me in the right way about this on how its ment to work and where i can get the ports for this ?

[T-3PO]

Budice, from my understanding there's no wire (implying it's electrical) it's a cable that runs from the lever to the fuel pump. I guess you first point would be to check if it's connected? ... someone pulls out the lever while someone else checks for movement on the pump? After that ... hhmmm, service, glow plugs or even pump timing?

[peasant]

You could just block the lever at the pump in the fully engaged postion ...leave the lever pulled all the time so to speak. Quite a few people on german forums do this until they get round to fixing the wire pulley thingy. The "cold start" feature (slightly earlier injection) stops to work above 2000 rpm (or so) anyway

thanks for getting back to me about this so soon

when i put wire i ment cable sorry about that lol anyway i now its not wire up coz i can see where they hav cut it but that what i'm trying to work out how it pull it on and off is it like a old car were you pull it on or is it like a auto one which runns of the coolent temp ?

[HarryMann]

The former, you pull the lever to put it on. Then you forget it until you remember it 10 miles later but it doesn't matter too much, unlike a choke.

hi everyone had a look once more today at it it was pull right back to the cam belt not on it but you now what i mean i hope lol anyway push it forward so it was looking at the gearboxs and then jump in and wait for the glow plugs and she fire up 1st time and there was not white smoke for the 1st time oh the joy of it was just to much lol then when i came out from work today she just fired up 1st time once more which was nice lol anyway when i was on the road she did feel a little bit slower so im thinking i'm going to fit a cable to her but the nexts thing is where do i get a cable that long for it and where are they fitted on the dash ?

I don't know what you mean by that... cam belt not on it?

Any chance you could use a few sentences to split up that diatribe a bit, so others can read it a bit easier, this is a forum with a full keyboard & text editor, not a mobile phone.

Cheers

PS. The lever is lower left of steering column AFAIK, it pulls out from the bottom of the fascia, like a flap IIRC

[budice83]

Wow chillout man

I was just meaning which way the rod on the Diesel pump was faceing.
So the front of the engine is where the cambelt is and the rear of the engine is where the flywheel meets the gearbox's
Hope this helps you Understand.

So i hav moved the choke and its fires up everytime



diatribe.
Listening to a lengthy diatribe may seem like a waste of time, an attitude for which there is some etymological justification.

Good night and God Blass

ha!well you did ask if therd been just one indication of were a sentence end and another start i probably wouldnt of said but a line has to be drawn somewhere, even a linebreak

[budice83]

hav you got one from there ?
and i still can not work out where its placed on the dash

[T-3PO]

There's an extra dash piece that screws under the main dash board, to the left of the steering wheel (if it's a RHD) There's a LHD version on http://www.ebay.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; if you search for Chokezughalter.
