306 1.9 DTurbo Cold Start Device

Jan 02, 2004 3 Replies

Hi,



My cold start device on my bosch pump is stuck on, and has been for some time now! (therefore the car starts ok from cold!)



What do I do folks? - leave it stuck on? Will it affect my mpg or performance if its released ?



Cheers

Yer, sorry, that's right.

It's a cable mechanism that runs from the bottom of the fuel filter to the pump and alters the hot/cold running speeds

It's currently stuck on the cold (fast idle) setting and has been since I purchased the car.

Should I get this sorted? will getting it sorted help my mpg? will this affect the performance?

Cheers
