White Smoke On Start Up

[darkchild101]

I have had this problem nearly 1 and half years. Its a 2.5CRD 2001 model and first thing in morning there is a cloud of white smoke, i mean a big cloud and its worse when cold. This clears after about 5 seconds and for the rest of the day no smoke at all when i start the engine. Only seems to be when engine is cold

 

any ideas

Could be glowplugs not warming fully up.

Mine was doing that. Does your glow plug light take ages to go out? If so, Its to do with one of your injectors not getting primed buy the glow plugs. I changed no1 injector as the other 3 have been changed at some point. Car starts beautifully now no problems.

Thanks. How did you estblish which injector it was?

Process of elimination on my car. I had injectors 2 3 and 4 replaced as they were leaking, but no 1 was never replaced. It still chucks a little smoke for about 2 seconds but a lot less than before. As these chryslers get older, they will start to do this according to the chrysler specialist in Enfield. They have a full diagnostic machine. What you could do is a process of elimination on yours. Change each injector and see whats happenning.
