Could be glow plugs, when was the manifold last cleaned out along with the EGR, MAP sensor, did you do a leak back test before changing the injectors, sometimes it is only the tips that need cleaning, Walsall hey not to far from me then

Hiya thanks for your reply, didnt do a leek back test on my old injectors, jumped straight into buying some as seen lots of people on sites with same problem and there injectors was the cause, going to have my old 4 teated monday at midland injectors so need to wait until then, i blanked off my egr this year but manifold and map sensor aint been cleaned out as yet, would the glow plugs cause it to smoke and judder constantly or just start up, cheers

Have you old injectors cleaned and tested, then refitted. If it's below 15° C the glow plugs will be used for starting and running for a good few minutes. If the glow plugs aren't working, staring will be delayed, which results in white smoke and rough running.

Hi sorry for late reply, all 4 injectors came back, passed with flying colours from the injector place, replaced glow plugs and still the same tubbish start up and loads of white/blueish smoke with a bit of misfire, pulling my hair out now lol

I have the same problem and engine light on as well I think it’s failing fuel pump as can hear mine really struggling might be wrong tho

Sounds like air flow, have you tried a different MAF sensor

Can clearly tell mine is fuel pump just by the sound of the pump

Have you tested for battery voltage at the glow plug connectors?
It sounds like the plugs aren't warming to me.
