My 1.9 TDI starts poorly in the mornings, even when the outside temperature is 15°C.
When it finally starts, it fills the entire area with white smoke (unburned diesel).
He also has the engine knocking sound described in the forum.
Could it be that the ice cream machine is starting too early?
The power and torque are acceptable.

Hi.

How many kilometers are on the engine? There's something like "wiper blade wear" in the OT (Over The Road) sector, which can cause starting problems with high mileage.

I also think it's possible that a worn fuel injection pump and/or injectors could be the cause, as this could lead to poor atomization at low engine speeds or reduce the amount of fuel injected.

If the injection system is started too early, the engine would likely tend to overheat, stall the starter motor, or shake violently instead of starting smoothly.

It has 225,000 kilometers on the odometer.
Fuel injectors, new.
Fuel injection pump, approximately 90,000 km.
What kind of wear is this, and what can be done to prevent it? icon_sad.gif

Hello Ulf,
I often see 'IMO' in your texts. Please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English.
Regards,

Eike.

I've experienced something similar before: a very rough start and a lot of white smoke. During an inspection, I found that the glow plug fuse was blown, so I had the car towed and replaced the fuse. That's not all!
Unfortunately, the car broke down 600km from home, and the cause was the usual problem with the KW dampers.
My tip: check the timing belt pulley and the corresponding screw. It's highly likely that the screw has become loose, causing play in the pulley. Although there's a groove/spring connection, it's only a safety feature and has play itself. If you drive a lot, you will increasingly damage the constant velocity (CV) joint boot because, with each change in load, the slider rotates around the dead zone in that connection, which deforms the spring.
If the screw has a quality grade of 8.8 or 10.9 marked on the outside, you're probably out of luck because these screws are too weak.
Also, buy a new timing belt pulley at the same time; the part number for the new version ends in 'B'!
You might find more information at dieselkraft.free.fr or you can email me at [email protected].
