The coldstart wax cylinder that goes into the termostat housing is a very common part. You can get it from either Ctroen or Peugeoet dealers, as it is a standard part for earlier XU D/TD engine units.
Last time I needed one, I purchased it from my local Peugeot dealer (for a 405 1.9D). The price was the equivalent of some £30'ish.
It is very styraihtforward to replace :
Unscrew cable at lever arm
Pull out cable from the vernier adjuster
Home the vernier adjuster
Unscrew unit from thermostat housing (engine cold, please !)
Note that you need a new aluminium sealing ring (a copper ring may be used)
The cable on the new unit may be far too long, as the device is made to fit several model variants.
Cut back the plastic sleeving, then bend the coiled outer cabling and cut it back as you want it.
Fit cable and simply cut back the inner cable as needed.
Adjust cable such the lever arm is tight against the stop by the cable.
Fine adjust on the vernier.
Start engine and let idle. Observe that within a few minutes as the engine gets hotter, the diesel clatter softens a bit in its note, and the lever arm is released - at least 6mm - when engine is working hot (indicated by the cooling fan coming on).
Thats it.
