Gombal Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Searched everywhere (ETIS, etc) but can't find it. Does anybody know when the electric diesel preheater, located in the fuelfilter, of a 1.4 TDCI kicks in and shuts off? And does it have a sensor in the element or does it get it's temp reading from the seperate fuel temp sensor on the other side of the engine? Fuelfilter (B is the heater): Heater element itself: I'm just curious because it's just such a small electric heater, it can't be heating it very much. I did find info on an older model electric preheater, from a Peugeot (but the 1.4 TDCI is essentually a Peugeot/Citroen engine, PSA group) and that heats the diesel barely. It activates at -2 (+/- 2 degrees), it shuts off at +3 (+/- 2 degrees). All temps in Celsius. And that's a 150 W heater, don't know how the inside of the old heater looks but i guess the heating element is bigger then the thiny one in the fuelfilter. So if anybody knows, or knows where to find that info, i would be very gratefull ;) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gombal Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 To answer my own question, on a 1.4TDCI the on/off temp is +5 degrees Celsius according to Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
