306 Dt cold start smoke

[PugMarshall2906]

Mine has just had new glow plugs and starts WORSE than this??

[richad3091]

just saw another vid..there not borbets.athough i wonder wot borbets would look like on a dt?

[richad3091]

wot wheels u got on there?:S

remind me of borbets but i doubt it

i have a 1998 dt s with 125k miles on it and yea its rough to start in the mornings at times, but ive found that it may actually be a non return valve in the fuel line?

any thoughts?:S

[kris306dt]

They are fondmeal 4000's

Change the glowplugs :)

[richad3091]

@kris306dt

[Mr330d]

@foolbass09 you love sumit wi a bita power then why you want a 306?? 90bhp isn't any where near enough altho it could be worse watch some video's of corsa 1.5 td's your 306 will look like a absolute rocket lol

[lescooke82]

hi,mine does the same,but has like a miss fire/stutter?but goes away when warmed up a little,i too have been making bio diesel and the car runs perfect on it,mine is a 95 dturbo kkk turbo and bosch pump,with 184000 miles on her.and still pulls a mule ;)

[bmiah]

my d turbo duz d exact same fing, but im kikin out too much wyt smoke afta i start and when i take off

[sxxxyshaun]

yo, u shud do sum mor vids spoke to u ages ago on heya when i had my dturbo sadly i killed it lol was runnin the 50 50 mix of diesel an cookig oil workd for a munth then fuel pump packd in lmoa o wel stuk wiv a shity rover now, an av jus gon a smashd da gearbox doin a wheelspin lol !!!

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

Chances are the pump rotor head seized

due to varnish build up.Bosch pumps are usually quite tollerant on veg oil but sadly some still die on it.

92 B.H.P OF PUNCHY PUG TD MUSCLE;>)

[kris306dt]

Damn Right, Should be pushing around 120bhp this weekend. Shortly after xmas i'll be looking for 145bhp... watch this space.

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

C@@L,but can the head gasket+pistons stand that much increase?

[kris306dt]

erm, they should be ok with 160bhp as far as i'm aware. I'm rebuilding the engine this month anyway. Only time will tell though really, there's a 170bhp dturbo on here somewhere, aided by NOS.

[artiomka231]

you a real idiot,first cold engine starts with litlle smoke,then no acseleration when engine still cold,its DIESEL man

[kris306dt]

Pardon? you make no sense. I work on these engines day in - day out. The starting smoke isn't too bad, the smoke under acceleration is black smoke - caused by having the max fuelling set at 30deg higher than standard. It was running 26psi of boost through the standard top mount and is now running 21psi and fuelling turned down slightly.

[Robinzzon]

put an engine warmer in it and it wont soke on cold mornings

[kris306dt]

I would love too but at the end of the day its a car thats only worth a grand (at the most) and not an F1 car :(

[contacttaktiks]

av just bought one of these, starts the same, the clutch is heavy as f**k, is thet the way they all are????

[kris306dt]

Yeah, they are all the same, just something we learn to deal with. The clutch cable runs across the exhaust. A new cable will sort it but fitting a new cable is a fiddley job :)

[abyssunderground]

Reminds me of my pug ^^ See my vids for them.

[sxxxyshaun]

[DturboDan19]
