Metro 1.4 Diesel

buy the manual for Citroen ax diesel, the engine is the same, I never had much luck adjusting my wife's metro diesel by the book, and ended up doing it by ear and feel, but I could hunt out the book for the instructions if you don't want to buy one.

I haven't a clue how to do it, but it's the same engine as used in the Citroen AX and Peugeot 106 (the ones before they became 1.5 diesels), so a manual for one of those cars, or one specific to that engine may help.

Thanks a lot guys will try what you have suggested.

fast idle adjuster on the pump, maybe that needs tightening. steve the grease

There is ( I Think), but I was talking about the basic adjustment on the linkage and cable, the thermo unit should then do the rest provided its working properly.

the cable, when its cold it should idle faster, if its too fast then loosen the cable some more, but for sure there should be some loose in the cable when warm . Hope it helps, little or no useful info on this in Haynes. steve the grease

Thanks Steve, that is the info I have been looking for. I wasnt sure if the slack on the cable should be when warm or cold.

Adjusted as you suggested and it now runs a treat, once again thanks.
