The fuel system consists of a fuel tankmounted under the rear of the car, amechanical fuel pump, and a carburettor. Thefuel pump is operated by an eccentric on thecamshaft, and is mounted on the rear of thecylinder head. The air cleaner contains adisposable paper filter element, andincorporates a flap valve air temperaturecontrol system; this allows cold air from theoutside of the car, and warm air from theexhaust manifold, to enter the air cleaner inthe correct proportions.

The fuel pump lifts fuel from the fuel tankvia a filter, which is mounted on the enginecompartment bulkhead, and supplies it to thecarburettor via an anti-percolation chamber.The anti-percolation chamber ensures that thesupply of fuel to the carburettor is kept at aconstant pressure, and is free of air bubbles.Excess fuel is returned from the anti-percolation chamber to the fuel tank.

On 1124 cc models, a Solex 32 PBISAsingle-choke carburettor is fitted; 1360 ccmodels have a Solex 32-34 Z2 twin-chokecarburettor. On both carburettors, mixtureenrichment for cold starting is by a cable-operated choke control.

The exhaust system consists of threesections; the front pipe, the intermediate pipeand silencer box, and the tailpipe and mainsilencer box. The system is suspendedthroughout its entire length by rubbermountings.

Warning: Many of the proceduresin this Chapter require theremoval of fuel lines andconnections, which may result in

some fuel spillage. Before carrying out anyoperation on the fuel system, refer to theprecautions given in "Safety first!" at thebeginning of this manual, and follow themimplicitly. Petrol is a highly-dangerous andvolatile liquid, and the precautionsnecessary when handling it cannot beoverstressed.

Refitting

5 Refitting is a reversal of the removalprocedure, noting the following points:(a) Examine the rubber sealing ring(s) for

signs of damage or deterioration, and ifnecessary renew. Note that, on somemodels, the carburettor seal is fitted withan O-ring; this should also be renewed ifit is damaged.

(b) Ensure the air cleaner housing locatingpeg is correctly engaged with itsmounting on the top of the transmission(see illustration).

(c) Prior to tightening the air cleaner-to-carburettor duct retaining clips, ensurethe duct is correctly seated on both theair cleaner housing and carburettorflanges.

General information

1 The system is controlled by a heat-sensitivevacuum switch, mounted in the end of the aircleaner housing-to-carburettor duct. Whenthe engine is started from cold, the switch isopen, allowing inlet manifold depression toact on the air temperature control valvediaphragm in the intake duct. This vacuumcauses the diaphragm to rise, drawing a flapvalve across the cold-air intake, thus allowingonly (warmed) air from the exhaust manifold toenter the air cleaner.2 As the temperature of the exhaust-warmedair in the air cleaner-to-carburettor duct rises,the wax capsule in the vacuum switchdeforms and closes the switch, cutting off thevacuum supply to the air temperature controlvalve assembly. As the vacuum supply is cut,

the flap is gradually lowered across the hot-airintake until, when the engine is fully warmed-up to normal operating temperature, only coldair from the front of the car is entering the aircleaner.3 To check the system, allow the engine tocool down completely, then slacken theretaining clip and disconnect the intake ductfrom the front of the control valve assembly;the flap valve in the duct should be securelyseated across the hot-air intake. Start theengine; the flap should immediately rise toclose off the cold-air intake, and should thenlower steadily as the engine warms up, until itis eventually seated across the hot-air intakeagain.4 To check the vacuum switch, disconnectthe vacuum pipe from the control valve whenthe engine is running, and place a finger overthe pipe end. When the engine is cold, fullinlet manifold vacuum should be present inthe pipe, and when the engine is at normaloperating temperature, there should be novacuum in the pipe.5 To check the air temperature control valveassembly, slacken the retaining clip anddisconnect the intake duct from the front ofthe valve assembly; the flap valve should besecurely seated across the hot-air intake.Disconnect the vacuum pipe, and suck hardat the control valve stub; the flap should riseto shut off the cold-air intake.6 If either component is faulty, it must berenewed.

2.5 On refitting, ensure the air cleanerhousing peg is correctly located in its

mounting rubber (arrowed)

Vacuum switch - renewal7 Remove the air cleaner housing-to-carburettor duct, as described in paragraphs1 and 2 of Section 2.8 Bend up the tangs on the switch retainingclip, then remove the clip, along with its seal,and withdraw the switch from inside the duct(see illustrations). Examine the seal for signsof damage or deterioration, and renew ifnecessary.9 On refitting, ensure the switch and ductmating surfaces are clean and dry, andposition the switch inside of the duct.10 Fit the seal over the switch unions, andrefit the retaining clip. Ensure the switch ispressed firmly against the duct, and secure it

in position by bending down the retaining cliptangs.11 Refit the duct as described in Section 2.

Air temperature control valve -renewal12 Disconnect the vacuum pipe from the airtemperature control valve, then slacken theretaining clips securing the intake ducts to thevalve (see illustration).13 Disconnect both intake ducts and the hot-air intake hose from the control valveassembly, and remove it from the vehicle.14 Refitting is the reverse of the removalprocedure, noting that the air temperaturecontrol valve assembly can only be renewedas a complete unit.

Note: Refer to the warning note in Section 1before proceeding.

Testing1 To test the fuel pump on the engine,disconnect the outlet pipe which leads to thecarburettor. Hold a wad of rag by the pumpoutlet while an assistant spins the engine onthe starter. Keep your hands away from theelectric cooling fan. Regular spurts of fuelshould be ejected as the engine turns. Be

careful not to spill fuel onto hot enginecomponents.2 The pump can also be tested by removingit. With the pump outlet pipe disconnectedbut the inlet pipe still connected, hold the wadof rag by the outlet. Operate the pump leverby hand, moving it in and out; if the pump is ina satisfactory condition, the lever shouldmove and return smoothly, and a strong jet offuel should be ejected.

Removal3 Identify the pump inlet and outlet hoses,and slacken both retaining clips (seeillustration). Where the crimped-type Citroenhose clips are fitted, cut the clips and discardthem; use standard worm-drive hose clips onrefitting. Place wads of rag beneath the hoseunions to catch any spilled fuel, thendisconnect both hoses from the pump; plugthe hose ends to minimise fuel loss.4 Remove the insulating cover from the fuelpump, then slacken and remove the boltssecuring the pump to the rear of the cylinderhead. Remove the pump along with itsinsulating block. Discard the insulating block:a new one must be used on refitting.

Refitting5 Ensure the pump and cylinder head matingsurfaces are clean and dry, then offer up thenew insulating block and refit the pump to thecylinder head. Tighten the pump retaining

ring to the sender unit,(b) Refit the sender unit to the tank, aligning

its arrow with the centre of the threealignment marks on the fuel tank. Securethe sender in position with the lockingring, and check that the locking ring,sender unit and fuel tank marks are allcorrectly aligned.

6 Fuel tank - removal and refitting

Note: Refer to the warning note in Section 1before proceeding.

Removal1 Before removing the fuel tank, all fuel mustbe drained from the tank. Since a fuel tank

drain plug is not provided, it is thereforepreferable to carry out the removal operationwhen the tank is nearly empty. Beforeproceeding, disconnect the battery negativelead, and syphon or hand-pump theremaining fuel from the tank.2 Remove the exhaust system and relevantheat shield(s) as described in Section 17.3 Disconnect the two handbrake cables fromthe handbrake lever, as described in Chap-ter 9.4 From underneath the vehicle, remove theretaining clips, and release each handbrakecable from its guides on the underside of thefuel tank (see illustration). Position bothcables clear of the tank, so that they will nothinder the removal procedure.5 Disconnect the wiring connector from thefuel gauge sender unit, as described inSection 5.6 Working at the right-hand side of the fueltank, slacken the retaining clips, thendisconnect the vent pipes from the base ofthe filler neck, and the main filler neck hosefrom the fuel tank. Where the originalcrimped-type Citroen hose clips are fitted, cutthe clips and discard them; use standardworm-drive hose clips on refitting.7 Trace the fuel feed and return hoses backfrom the right-hand side of the tank to theirunion with the fuel pipes. Slacken theretaining clips and disconnect both hosesfrom the fuel pipes, noting the point madeabove about the crimped-type hose clips.

6.4 Handbrake cable-to-fuel tank retainingclip (arrowed)

Plug the hose and pipe ends, to prevent theentry of dirt into the system.8 Place a trolley jack with an interposed blockof wood beneath the tank, then raise the jackuntil it is supporting the weight of the tank.9 Slacken and remove the retaining nut andbolts, then remove the two support rods fromthe underside of the tank (see illustrations).10 Slowly lower the fuel tank out of position,disconnecting any other relevant vent pipesas they become accessible (wherenecessary), and remove the tank fromunderneath the vehicle.11 If the tank is contaminated with sedimentor water, remove the sender unit (Section 5),and swill the tank out with clean fuel. The tankis injection-moulded from a synthetic material- if seriously damaged, it should be renewed.

However, in certain cases, it may be possibleto have small leaks or minor damage repaired.Seek the advice of a specialist beforeattempting to repair the fuel tank.

Refitting12 Refitting is the reverse of the removalprocedure, noting the following points:(a) When lifting the tank back into position,

take care to ensure that none of the hosesbecome trapped between the tank andvehicle body.

(b) Ensure all pipes and hoses are correctlyrouted, and securely held in position withtheir retaining clips.

(c) Reconnect the handbrake cables andadjust the handbrake as described inChapter 9.

(d) On completion, refill the tank with a smallamount of fuel, and check for signs ofleakage prior to taking the vehicle out onthe road.

Removal1 Working in the engine compartment, freethe accelerator inner cable from thecarburettor throttle cam, then pull the outercable out from its mounting bracket rubbergrommet. Slide the flat washer off the end ofthe cable, and remove the spring clip.2 Working back along the length of the cable,free it from any retaining clips or ties, notingits correct routing.3 Working from inside the vehicle, release thefasteners by rotating them through a quarterof a turn anti-clockwise, and remove thedriver's side lower facia panel.4 Release the retaining clips, and remove thefelt undercover from underneath the driver'sside of the facia panel.5 Release the retaining clip, and detach theinner cable from the top of the accelerator pedal.6 Release the outer cable from its retainer onthe pedal mounting bracket, then tie a lengthof string to the end of the cable.7 Return to the engine compartment, and

withdraw the cable from the bulkhead. Whenthe end of the cable appears, untie the stringand leave it in position - it can then be used todraw the cable back into position on refitting.

Refitting8 Tie the string to the end of the cable, thenuse the string to draw the cable into positionthrough the bulkhead. Once the cable end isvisible, untie the string, then clip the outercable into its pedal bracket retainer, and clipthe inner cable into position in the pedal end-9 Check that the cable is securely retained,then refit the felt undercover and driver's sidelower facia panel.10 From within the engine compartment,ensure the outer cable is correctly seated inthe bulkhead grommet, then work along thecable, securing it in position with the retainingclips and ties, and ensuring that the cable iscorrectly routed.11 Slide the flat washer onto the cable end,and refit the spring clip.12 Pass the outer cable through itscarburettor mounting bracket grommet, andreconnect the inner cable to the throttle cam.Adjust the cable as described below.

Adjustment13 Remove the spring clip from theaccelerator outer cable. Ensuring that thethrottle cam is fully against its stop, gently pullthe cable out of its grommet until all free playis removed from the inner cable.14 With the cable held in this position, refitthe spring clip to the last exposed outer cablegroove in front of the rubber grommet andwasher. When the clip is refitted and the outercable is released, there should be only a smallamount of free play in the inner cable (seeillustration).15 Have an assistant depress the acceleratorpedal, and check that the throttle cam opensfully and returns smoothly to its stop.

withdraw the lever and cable assembly fromthe facia, disconnecting the wiring from thelever switch (where fitted) as it becomesaccessible. Once the end of the cableappears through the lever aperture, untie thestring and leave it in position in the vehicle - itcan then be used to draw the cable back intoposition on refitting.

Refitting5 Tie the string the end of the choke cable,then use the sting to draw the cable intoposition through the bulkhead into the enginecompartment. Once the cable end is fully inposition, untie the string.6 Reconnect the wiring connector (wherefitted), and locate the choke lever in its faciapanel aperture. Refit the lever retaining screw,tightening it securely.7 From within the engine compartment,ensure the outer cable is correctly seated inthe bulkhead grommet. Work along the cable,securing it in position with all the relevantretaining clips and ties, and ensuring that thecable is correctly routed.8 Slide the rubber collar and retaining cliponto the end of the cable, then engage theinner end of the cable with carburettorlinkage. Align the rubber collar with thecarburettor bracket, then refit the retainingclip and securely tighten its retaining bolt.Adjust the cable as described below.

Adjustment9 If not already done, slacken the retainingclip securing the rubber collar to the outercable. Where the crimped-type Citroen hoseclip is still fitted, cut the clip and discard it;use a standard worm-drive hose clip onrefitting (see illustration).10 Ensuring that the choke lever is flush withthe facia panel and the carburettor linkage isfully against its stop, move the outer cable inthe rubber collar until the position is foundwhere there is only a small amount of free playpresent in the inner cable. Hold the outercable in this position, and securely tighten theclip securing the rubber collar to the outercable.11 Have an assistant operate the chokelever, and check that the choke linkage closes

fully and returns smoothly to its stop. Ifnecessary, repeat the adjustment procedure.

Note: The information given in tms Chapter iscorrect at the time of writing. If updatedinformation is thought to be required, checkwith a Citroen dealer. If travelling abroad,consult one of the motoring organisations (or asimilar authority) for advice on the fuelavailable.1 The fuel recommended by Citroen is givenin the Specifications Section of this Chapter,followed by the equivalent petrol currently onsale in the UK.2 All Citroen ZX carburettor models aredesigned to run on 95 octane petrol. Bothleaded and unleaded petrol can be usedwithout modification. Super leaded (97 octane,UK "4-star") and super unleaded (98 octane)petrol can also be used if wished, though thereis no advantage in doing so.

Solex 32 PBISA carburettor -1124 cc models1 The Solex PBISA carburettor is adowndraught single-venturi instrument, with amanually-controlled choke (see illustration).The carburettor consists of three maincomponents - the upper body, the main body,and the throttle body (which contains thethrottle valve assembly). An insulating blockplaced between the carburettor body andthrottle body prevents excess heat transferfrom the manifold to the main body.

2 The throttle body contains a drilling throughwhich the engine coolant runs. The enginecoolant warms the carburettor body quicklyon cold starts, improving atomisation of thefuel/air mixture and preventing carburettoricing, during warm-up.3 During slow running and at idle, fuel fromthe float chamber passes into the idle channelthrough a metered idle jet. Here it is mixedwith a small amount of air from a calibrated airbleed. The resulting mixture is drawn througha channel, to be discharged from the idleorifice under the throttle valve. A taperedmixture screw is used to vary the outlet, andthis ensures fine control of the idle mixture.4 A progression slot provides extraenrichment as it is uncovered by the openingof the throttle valve during initial acceleration.5 Under normal operating conditions, fuel isdrawn through a calibrated main jet, into thebase of the auxiliary venturi. An emulsion tubeis placed in the auxiliary venturi, capped withan air correction jet. The fuel is mixed with air,drawn in through the holes in the emulsiontube. The resulting mixture is discharged intothe main airstream via four orifices, spaced at90° apart, in the upper part of the auxiliaryventuri.6 The carburettor also has an acceleratorpump, to provide an initial spurt of extra fuelduring sudden acceleration. The acceleratorpump is controlled by a diaphragm, and ismechanically operated by a lever and rodwhich is connected to the throttle linkage.7 The idle speed is set by an adjustablescrew. The adjustable mixture screw is sealedduring production with a tamperproof plug, toprevent unnecessary or inexpert adjustment.

instrument (see illustration). The throttlelinkages are arranged so that the secondarythrottle valve will not start to open until theprimary valve is about two-thirds open, but atfull throttle both valves are fully open. Thechoke control is manual.9 An electrical heating element is fitted to thebase of the throttle body. The heater warmsthe carburettor body quickly on cold starts,improving atomisation of the fuel/air mixtureand preventing carburettor icing during warm-up. The heater is fed directly from the ignitionswitch, and functions on the PTC (PositiveTemperature Coefficient) principle; ie. as theheater temperature rises, so does itsresistance.10 During slow running and at idle, fuel fromthe float chamber passes into the idle channelthrough a metered idle jet. Here it is mixedwith a small amount of air from a calibrated airbleed. The resulting mixture is drawn througha channel, to be discharged from the idleorifice under the primary throttle plate. Atapered mixture screw is used to vary the

outlet, and this ensures fine control of the idlemixture.11 On some models, an idle cut-off valve isused to prevent run-on when the engine isswitched off. The valve uses a solenoidplunger to block the idle jet when the ignitionis switched off.12 A progression slot provides extraenrichment as it is uncovered by the openingof the throttle valve during initial acceleration.13 Under normal operating conditions, theamount of fuel discharged into the airstreamis controlled by a calibrated main jet. Fuel isdrawn through the main jet, into the base of avertical well which dips down into the fuel inthe float chamber; an emulsion tube is placedin the well. The fuel is then mixed with air,drawn in through the air correction jet andthrough the holes in the emulsion tube. Theresulting mixture is discharged from the mainorifice through an auxiliary vent.14 The carburettor also has an acceleratorpump to provide an initial spurt of extra fuelduring sudden acceleration. The accelerator

pump is mechanically operated by a lever andcam which is attached to the primary throttlelinkage. During acceleration, fuel is pumpedthrough a ball valve located in the pumpinjector, and is discharged into both theprimary and secondary Venturis. The inlet ballvalve is located in a channel from the floatchamber; excess fuel/air mixture is returned tothe float chamber through a separate channel.15 The idle speed is set by an adjustablescrew. The adjustable mixture screw is sealedduring production with a tamperproof plug, toprevent unnecessary or inexpert adjustment.

12 Carburettor -removal and refitting

Note: Refer to the warning note in Section 1before proceeding. Where original crimped-type Citroen hose clips are still fitted, the clipsshould be cut and discarded; obtain somestandard worm-drive hose clips for refitting.

Removal1 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.2 Remove the air cleaner-to-carburettor ductas described in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Sec-tion 2.3 Free the accelerator inner cable from thethrottle cam, then pull the outer cable outfrom its mounting bracket rubber grommet,along with its flat washer and spring clip.4 Disconnect the choke inner cable from thecarburettor linkage, then undo the retainingbolt and remove the retaining clamp. Positionthe cable clear of the carburettor.5 On 1124 cc models, slacken the retainingclips and disconnect the coolant hoses fromthe base of the carburettor. Plug the hoseends to minimise coolant loss, and mop upany spilt coolant immediately.6 On 1360 cc models, disconnect the wiringconnector from the carburettor heatingelement and, where fitted, from the idle cut-offsolenoid (see illustration).7 Slacken the retaining clip, and disconnectthe fuel feed hose from the carburettor. Placewads of rag around the union to catch anyspilled fuel, and plug the hose as soon as it isdisconnected, to minimise fuel loss (seeillustration).

8 Make a note of the correct fitted positionsof all the relevant vacuum pipes and breatherhoses, to ensure they are correctly positionedon refitting, then release the retaining clips(where fitted) and disconnect them from thecarburettor.9 Unscrew the two (1124 cc models) or four(1360 cc models) nuts and washers securingthe carburettor to the inlet manifold. Removethe carburettor assembly from the car (seeillustration). Remove the insulating spacerand/or gasket(s). Discard the gasket(s); newones must be used on refitting. Plug the inletmanifold port with a wad of clean cloth, toprevent the possible entry of foreign matter.

Refitting10 Refitting is the reverse of the removalprocedure, noting the following points:(a) Ensure the carburettor and inlet manifold

sealing faces are clean and flat. Fit a newgasket, and securely tighten thecarburettor retaining nuts.

(b) Use the notes made on dismantling toensure all hoses are refitted to theiroriginal positions and, where necessary,are securely held by their retaining clips.

(c) Where the original crimped-type Citroenhose clips were fitted, discard them; usestandard worm-drive hose clips whenrefitting.

(d) Refit and adjust the choke andaccelerator cables as described inSections 7 and 9.

(e) Refit the air cleaner duct as described inSection 2.

(f) On completion, check and, if necessary,adjust the idle speed and mixture settingsas described in Chapter 1.

Fault finding1 If a carburettor fault is suspected, alwayscheck first that the ignition timing is correctly set,that the spark plugs are in good condition andcorrectly gapped, that the accelerator andchoke cables are correctly adjusted, and thatthe air cleaner filter element is clean; refer to therelevant Sections of Chapter 1, Chapter 5 or thisChapter. If the engine is running very roughly,first check the valve clearances as described inChapter 1, then check the compressionpressures as described in Chapter 2.2 If careful checking of all the aboveproduces no improvement, the carburettormust be removed for cleaning and overhaul.3 Note that in the rare event of a completecarburettor overhaul being necessary, it mayprove more economical to renew thecarburettor as a complete unit. Check theprice and availability of a new carburettor and

of its component parts before starting work;note that most sealing washers, screws andgaskets are available in kits, as are some ofthe major sub-assemblies. In most cases, itwill be sufficient to dismantle the carburettorand to clean the jets and passages.

OverhaulNote: Refer to the warning note in Section 1before proceeding.4 Remove the carburettor from the vehicle asdescribed in Section 12.5 Disconnect the vacuum hose from thechoke pull-down diaphragm.6 Disconnect the choke spring (wherenecessary), then undo the six screws and liftoff the carburettor upper body.7 Tap out the float pivot pin, and remove thefloat assembly, needle valve, and floatchamber gasket. Check that the needle valveanti-vibration ball is free in the valve end, thenexamine the needle valve tip and seat for wearor damage. Examine the float assembly andpivot pin for signs of wear and damage. Thefloat assembly must be renewed if it appearsto be leaking - shake the float to detect thepresence of fuel inside.8 Unscrew the fuel inlet union and inspect thefuel filter. Clean the filter housing of debrisand dirt, and renew the filter if it is blocked.9 Undo the four screws, detach theaccelerator pump cover, and remove thepump diaphragm and spring, noting whichway around they are fitted. Examine thediaphragm for signs of damage anddeterioration, and renew if necessary.10 Unscrew the idle jet from the main body.11 Unscrew the main jet from the floatchamber. Note that it may be necessary toremove a plug in the float chamber body, toexpose an opening through which the main jetcan be withdrawn.12 Remove the combined air correction jetand emulsion tube from the auxiliary venturi.13 Remove the two screws, separate the

carburettor main body and throttle bodyassemblies, and recover the insulating spacer.Examine the throttle valve spindle and throttlebore for signs of wear or damage and, ifnecessary, renew the throttle body assembly.14 Remove the idle mixture adjustmentscrew tamperproof cap. Screw the screw inuntil it seats lightly, counting the exacf numberof turns required to do this, then unscrew it.On refitting, screw the screw in until it seatslightly, then back the screw off by the numberof turns noted on removal, to return the screwto its original position.15 Clean the jets, carburettor bodyassemblies, float chamber and internaldrillings. An air line may be used to clear theinternal passages once the carburettor is fullydismantled.

Warning: If high pressure air isdirected into drillings andpassages where a diaphragm isfitted, the diaphragm is likely tobe damaged.

16 Use a straight edge to check allcarburettor body assembly mating surfacesfor distortion.17 On reassembly, renew any worncomponents, and fit a complete set of newgaskets and seals. A jet kit and a gasket andseal kit are available from your Citroen dealer.18 Reassembly is a reversal of thedismantling procedure. Ensure that all jets aresecurely locked in position, but take greatcare not to overtighten them. Ensure allmating surfaces are clean and dry, and that allbody sections are correctly assembled with

AdjustmentsIdle speed and mixture19 Refer to Chapter 1.

Float height setting20 To accurately check the float heightsetting, a special float height checking gaugeis required. Therefore, this task must beentrusted to a Citroen dealer. As a guide, withthe carburettor body inverted, so that the floatis at the top and the needle valve isdepressed, the distance between the upperedge of the float and the sealing face of theupper body (with its gasket fitted) should beapproximately 38 mm. To adjust the floatheight setting, carefully bend the pivot arm.

Throttle valve fast idle setting21 Invert the carburettor, and operate thecarburettor choke linkage to fully close thechoke valve. The fast idle screw will buttagainst the fast idle cam, and force thethrottle valve open slightly.22 Using the shank of a twist drill, measurethe clearance between the edge of the throttlevalve and bore, and compare this to theclearance given in the Specifications. Ifnecessary, adjust by turning the fast idleadjustment screw in the appropriate directionuntil the specified clearance is obtained (seeillustration).

Choke pull-down setting23 Operate the carburettor choke linkage tofully close the choke valve, and hold thelinkage in this position.24 Attach a hand-held vacuum pump to the

choke pull-down diaphragm, and apply avacuum to the diaphragm so that thediaphragm rod is pulled fully into thediaphragm body. In the absence of a vacuumpump, the rod can be pushed into thediaphragm using a small screwdriver.25 With the rod fully retracted, use the shankof a twist drill to measure the clearancebetween the edge of the choke valve andbore, and compare this to the clearance givenin the Specifications (see illustration). Ifnecessary, remove the plug from thediaphragm cover, and adjust by turning theadjustment screw. Once the pull-down settingis correctly adjusted, refit the plug to thediaphragm cover, and remove the vacuumpump (where used).

Fault finding1 Refer to Section 13.

OverhaulNote: Refer to the warning note in Section 1before proceeding.2 Remove the carburettor from the vehicle asdescribed in Section 12.3 Unscrew the idle cut-off solenoid (wherefitted) from the carburettor body, and removeit along with its plunger and spring. To test thesolenoid, connect a 12-volt battery to it(positive terminal to the solenoid terminal,negative terminal to the solenoid body), andcheck that the plunger is retracted fully intothe body. Disconnect the battery, and checkthat the plunger is pushed out by springpressure. If the valve does not perform as

expected, and cleaning does not improve thesituation, the solenoid valve must be renewed.4 Remove the five screws, and lift off thecarburettor upper body.5 Tap out the float pivot pin, and remove thefloat assembly, needle valve, and floatchamber gasket. Check that the needle valveanti-vibration ball is free in the valve end, thenexamine the needle valve tip and seat for wearor damage. Examine the float assembly andpivot pin for signs of wear and damage. Thefloat assembly must be renewed if it appearsto be leaking - shake the float to detect thepresence of fuel inside.6 Unscrew the fuel inlet union and inspect thefuel filter. Clean the filter housing of debrisand dirt, and renew the filter if it is blocked.7 Undo the four screws, detach theaccelerator pump cover, and remove thepump diaphragm and spring, noting whichway around they are fitted. Examine thediaphragm for signs of damage anddeterioration, and renew if necessary.Remove the choke pull-down diaphragm andpart-load enrichment diaphragms, andexamine them in the same way.8 Unscrew the idle jet from the upper body.9 Unscrew both the primary and secondarycombined air correction jets and emulsiontubes.10 Using a long thin screwdriver, unscrewthe main jets from the bottom of the emulsiontube drillings. Invert the carburettor, and catchthe jets as they fall out of the drillings.11 Remove the idle mixture adjustmentscrew tamperproof cap. Screw the screw inuntil it seats lightly, counting the exact numberof turns required to do this, then unscrew it.On refitting, screw the screw in until it seatslightly, then back the screw off by the numberof turns noted on removal, to return the screwto its original position.

12 Examine the carburettor components asdescribed in paragraphs 15 to 17 of Section13.13 To test the carburettor heating element,connect a multimeter, set to the resistancefunction, between the heater wiring terminaland the carburettor body. A resistancereading of approximately 0.25 to 0.5 ohmsshould be obtained. If an open-circuit ispresent, or an extremely high resistancereading is obtained, it is likely that the heatingelement is faulty. Seek the advice of yourCitroen dealer before condemning the heater.The dealer will also be able to advise whetheror not the heating element is availableseparately.14 Reassembly is a reversal of thedismantling procedure. Ensure that all jets aresecurely locked in position, but take greatcare not to overtighten them. Ensure allmating surfaces are clean and dry, and that allbody sections are correctly assembled withtheir fuel and air passages correctly aligned.Prior to refitting the carburettor to the vehicle,set the float height, throttle valve fast idle andchoke pull-down settings as described below.

screws, and remove the shroud from the topof the exhaust manifold (see illustration).3 Firmly apply the handbrake, then jack upthe front of the vehicle and support it on axlestands.4 Undo the nuts securing the exhaust frontpipe to the manifold, then remove the boltsecuring the front pipe to its mountingbracket. Disconnect the front pipe from themanifold, and recover the gasket.5 Undo the eight retaining nuts securing themanifold to the head (see illustration).Manoeuvre the manifold out of the enginecompartment, and discard the manifoldgaskets.

Refitting6 Refitting is the reverse of the removalprocedure, noting the following points:(a) Examine all the exhaust manifold studs for

signs of damage and corrosion; removeall traces of corrosion, and repair orrenew any damaged studs.

(b) Ensure that the manifold and cylinderhead sealing faces are clean and flat, andfit the new manifold gaskets. Tighten themanifold retaining nuts to the specifiedtorque.

(c) Reconnect the front pipe to the manifoldusing the information given in Section 17.

General information1 The exhaust system consists of threesections; the front pipe, the intermediate pipeand silencer box, and the tailpipe and mainsilencer box. All exhaust sections are joinedby flanged joints. The front pipe joints aresecured by nuts and bolts, the intermediate

16.5 Exhaust manifold is retained by eightnuts (upper four arrowed)

pipe joint being of the spring-loaded ball type,to allow for movement in the exhaust system,and the intermediate pipe-to-silencer joint issecured by a clamping ring.2 The system is suspended throughout itsentire length by rubber mountings.

Removal3 Each exhaust section can be removedindividually, or alternatively, the completesystem can be removed as a unit. Even if onlyone part of the system needs attention, it isoften easier to remove the whole system andseparate the sections on the bench.4 To remove the system or part of thesystem, first jack up the front or rear of thecar, and support it on axle stands.Alternatively, position the car over aninspection pit, or on car ramps.

Front pipe5 Undo the nuts securing the front pipeflange joint to the manifold, and the single boltsecuring the front pipe to its mountingbracket. Separate the flange joint, and collectthe gasket.6 Slacken and remove the two nuts securingthe front pipe flange joint to the intermediatepipe, and recover the spring cups andsprings. Remove the- bolts, then withdraw thefront pipe from underneath the vehicle, andrecover the wire-mesh gasket.

Intermediate pipe7 Undo the two nuts securing the front pipeflange joint to the intermediate pipe. Recoverthe springs and spring cups, and withdraw thebolts.8 Slacken the intermediate pipe-to-tailpipeclamping ring bolts, and disengage the clampfrom the flange joint.9 Free the intermediate pipe from itsmounting rubbers, withdraw it from

underneath the vehicle, and recover the wire-mesh gasket from the front pipe joint.

Tailpipe10 Slacken the intermediate pipe-to-tailpipeclamping ring bolts, and disengage the clampfrom the flange joint.11 Unhook the tailpipe from its mountingrubbers, and remove it from the vehicle.

Complete system12 Undo the nuts securing the front pipeflange joint to the manifold, and the single boltsecuring the front pipe to its mountingbracket. Separate the flange joint, and collectthe gasket. Free the system from all itsmounting rubbers, and lower it from under thevehicle.

Heat shield(s)13 The heat shields are secured to theunderside of the body by various nuts andbolts. Each shield can be removed once therelevant exhaust section has been removed. Ifa shield is being removed to gain access to acomponent located behind it, it may provesufficient in some cases to remove theretaining nuts and/or bolts, and simply lowerthe shield, without disturbing the exhaustsystem.

Refitting14 Each section is refitted by reversing theremoval sequence, noting the followingpoints:(a) Ensure that all traces of corrosion have

been removed from the flanges, andrenew all necessary gaskets.

(b) Inspect the rubber mountings for signs ofdamage or deterioration, and renew asnecessary.

(c) Prior to assembling the front pipe-to-intermediate pipe joint, a smear of high-temperature grease should be applied tothe joint mating surfaces. Citroenrecommend the use of Gripcott AF G2grease (available from your Citroendealer).

(d) In the case of the intermediate pipe-to-tailpipe joint, apply a smear of exhaustsystem jointing paste to the flange joint,to ensure a gas-tight seal. Tighten theclamping ring nuts evenly andprogressively to the specified torquesetting, so that the clearance between theclamp halves is equal on either side.

(e) Prior to tightening the exhaust systemfasteners, ensure that all rubbermountings are correctly located, and thatthere is adequate clearance between theexhaust system and vehicle underbody.
