Hi All. My 200tdi is really smoky and rough on start up. After about 1-2 minutes of driving it stops smoking and seems fine. Keith Gott think it may be the Fuel Injector pump. What I don’t understand is why if that is the problem does it only really occur for the first few minutes of driving. The vehicle doesn’t stall, I can easily at 60-70 and the acceleration seems ok.
Done that and it has made starting easier but not sorted smoking out.
Getting air into the fuel system somewhere, bosch ve will self bleed, hence it starts and runs rough and bleeds itself until it is free of air then smoke stops, air in the fuel system effects the pump timing hence the white smoke.
Start by removing tank pick up and working your way forward, original engine or retrofit?
Nylon or rubber fuel pipes?
Injector leak off pipes all good?
Technically mr gott is correct the pump is the issue, but the pump is not at fault, imagine spending 600 quid only for it to run the same!

Thanks that explains it well and makes sense. I couldn’t understand how it starts of so rough and Smokey but then runs fine. I think they are going to remove it and send off for inspection/refurb rather than replace. They initially thought the timing on fuel pump was out but checked that and it’s ok. My previous landies were petrol which I understand better.
5/600 quid is a refurb!
