See what your Master Tech says -
Loads and lots of diesel smelling smoke on startup - the colder it is the worse it is. Starts on the button, but chugs out load of smoke and it's very lumpy and difficult to rev until I drive off, then it's fine.
So far I've tried/replaced various things including -
4x new injectors, 2x new glo plugs, fuel pump's only 2 years old, no EGR, low mileage car (83k), a cold compression test was normal, no boost leaks, turbo recently refurbed... the list goes on.
Cant believe they would be like that but then again you will get some dicks.
would be better if we could see the car realy. Have you the pcm update and checked the injector codes are in the right order. I would have thought you would have check the egr to see if its sticking when you cleaned it out.
also have you had the timming cover off to check the timming, i know the car runs ok when you get it running but can cause bad starting when hot and cold. like ive said would be better to see the car. Is this the mondeo in the mag because i thought it was fix now
