When I start my 2003 tdci I have to get the revs up to 2000 rpm to clear it out and it's fine from that moment on( apart from the issue I have on another thread). If i dont it idles lumpy as hell and stalls. It kicks out a bit smoke, not white more like grey, when first started, but only for a couple of seconds, I haven't looked into sorting this as the tddi I had before the ci did the same and was a cracking runner otherwise, good luck sorting it mate, but please post up what the cause is to help others, Roy.
