Stoney871 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Sounds like a leaking injector to me. Fuel pooling in the cylinder when off would cause smoke and roughness until burned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick85 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Agree with Stoney wats ur mileage also might be worth checking glow plugs they could be gone as well an making symptoms worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josrey Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Agree with Stoney wats ur mileage also might be worth checking glow plugs they could be gone as well an making symptoms worse Mileage is only 48k so not done a million miles and I will check the glow plugs anything that can cure this will be good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick85 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Well they very easy to test but u are ment change every few years an don't think they the handiest to change so if u not stuck for cash I would replace could prevent further problems down the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
