Hi all,
this is my frist time using this forum so please bear with me. I have a 106 1.5d though when idling the engine sound as if it is missfiring, this is troubling as i thought only petrol's misfire. Does anyone know what this porblem might be. I thought it was the gasket head though white smoke only comes out on starting the car and once in a while when the engine is very cold so i doubt that is the problem.
Also somtimes when i put the car into free i can hear a knocking nise from the gear box this is resolved when pressing and realesing the clutch does anyone know what that is?
Thanks for your help,
Matthew
106 1.5d problems

Your starting problems are most probably air leaking into the fuel system.
Look down by the battery, and you will see the fuel priming bulb - use this to prime the fuel system, keep squeezing until it gets harder [:I]
Then try and start the car - you'll find it's much easier.
The next thing is to start looking for the split in the fuel pipes usual places to check are the end joins, and places where the pipe may come into contact with other parts of the car.
The priming bulb itself is known to go sometimes - check for signs of diesel around the bulb.
The problem with your gear change - are you saying when you go from a gear into neutral, you get the knocking until you press/release the clutch ?
Could it be that the clutch cable is loose ? What does the pedal feel like - really floppy and loose on the floor, or firmly attached ?
