    D2 TD5 Running rough first up in morning

    My td5 has started running really rough and blowing lots of white smoke (unburnt diesel) when I first start up in the morning. Once I start driving it seems to come ok. Any ideas.
    Cheers

    1) Where are you? Update the location in your profile will help!

    2) How many KMs on your motor?

    3) Had any electrical gremlins recently?

    4) Hows your battery?

    5) How long does the glow plug light stay on in the morning?

    198 000

    3) Had any electrical gremlins recently?

    No. The air suspension light is on it has been on since I took the air bags out 12 months ago it has never affected any thing. It has been the last month it does it but not every morning.

    4) Hows your battery?

    Good

    5) How long does the glow plug light stay on in the morning?
    about 1 Second if that.

    TD5 running rough

    Could be glow plug related.The light should be on a bit longer than that,more like 4-5 secs.

    Trev.

    Check your oil for diesel
    Check your fuel regulator isnt leaking
    Are you using any coolant?
    Have you had any overheating issues recently or in the past?

    You could start by checking your glow plugs are getting power on start up.
