Hi All
I know we don't talk about them much but I've looked on the DS3 Club forum and not much there.
Has anyone got any thoughts on starting problems on the 120bhp DS3 where it feels like the Choke (if your old enough to remember chokes) is not being put on? Could it be the temp sensor is not saying the engine is cold? As soon as you try and start off the temp gauge says the car is hot?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mark

sounds like a good place to start if the ecu is getting its reading from this sensor

All fixed now, new temperature sensor and the housing. The car was reading an outside temp of 9deg and the engine temp of 101deg for a cold car in the morning no wonder it wasn't working properly
Now very happy little machine
