Mark Farrell Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi All My 130 ambulance TDI300 has an intermittent cold start smoke issue. Smells like unburnt Diesel and misfires until smoke clears and warm Have changed, Glow plugs , Fuel filter, Injectors. Runs really well when warm Any suggestions before I take pump off and get it checked over? Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsu0san Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Check the compression in each of the cylinders first. I'd asy it's unlikely to be the inection pump or the lift pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 ...and then check the timing. This sounds hard but is quite easy and plenty of how-to-do around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Timing or head gasket would be where I was looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Is it definitely diesel or do you think it could be a bit of oil getting in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
