smokey exhaust at startup
Hi, Recently when I start up my 1996 xantia 1.9TD from cold there is a cloud of smoke from the exhaust and a smell of diesel. The tickover sounds rough, almost like it is running on 3 cylinders. When the car is warm it sounds and runs OK. Engine doesn't use any oil, and fuel consumption is as always between 40-45mpg. I have put some diesel treatment through the tank a cuple of times. The mileage is a genuine 72,000 miles and car has had recent oil and filter changes. I have owned this xantia for the past 5 years, but have only noticed this problem in the last couple of months. Do I have a problem, or is this just a typical smokey old diesel?
