Daves Mondeo 2.2 TDCi starting on a cold day

My Mondeo 2.2 TDCi engine starting for the first time on a cold day, is this much smoke normal, are the uneven idle speeds normal? after 10 seconds it seems to settle down.

Thats not normal me and a m8 both have tdci 130 and nither of ours do it. thats defenitly an injector problem. + you can se on the floor what looks like water not normal.

Thanks for your info, its worth noting that the water was not from the exhaust, i think it had been a damp night so it was from the dew.

Problem is, if I go spending £1,200 on 4 new injectors, what happens if it doesnt fix the problem? it's starting fairly well with the milder weather now.

My 1.8 focus Tdci used to do this! chuffing blue smoke, and chugging. I also had a loud diesel knock on very cold mornings! was a combination of a blocked egr valve, and the wrong oil! According to Ford, Small independant garages tend to use 10/40oil in everything, and ford diesels are very sensitive to the wrong oil. they like synthetic oil, 5/30 or 5/40. The oil leaks through the valve seals, collects in the cylinder, then causes smokey poor starting.

my 2005 has been doing this for a couple of years but not when outdoor temp is zero or below,If it was injectors this would not be the case plus it would not settle down after a few seconds. I think you may also have a misfire at 1100 revs when cold, try starting and then slowly increasing revs to approx 1100 probably will start missing and smoking but perfectly ok when warmed up. I think is either a CPU or sensor problem

Looks like a possible injector problem. They Delphi injector are a known weakness on TDCi engines, as is DMF failure.
