I sprayed some easy start into the air intake (just small sprays at a time) to fire the engine and pull the diesel through, only took a couple of trys

Refurbished injector fitted and started up easy but a bit smokey. Took it for a long run and it ran good with no smoke. Left overnight and still lumpy tick over and smoke by not to bad. Pulled away and smoke clears. Stopped after a minute and held revs at 2k and lumpy running and clouds of blueish smoke. Drove on no smoke and stopped when u to temp and held revs a 2k and no smoke and no lumpy running. So still smoke and lumpy running when cold. Seems a common problem with no one with an answer.

This morning the weather was a good bit milder and the smoke looked more blueish. The intercooler hoses had a bit of oil in it more than I remember my previous td4 had. I am now thinking it's pooling overnight and first start it is being burnt off but not sure about lumpy tick over. Another thing I noticed tonight after work when I started it up and floored the accelerator and it took 2to3 seconds before the revs started to increase. Not sure if this is normal. Once warm no issues at all. When oil is blown into pcv where dose it drain into, just another thought.
Sometimes fitting the vortex breather can induce some oil into the inlet tract. I don't like the later vortex type myself, preferring the fluffy cotton wool filter instead.Hi mollynomad, yes it has the bmw pcv, egr bypass, silicon hoses. I think the previous owner has had a go at curing this and that's why he sold it. I test drove it warm and it goes good. Thinking if it had anything to do with the other injectors it would show up when warm also.
Checked intercooler hoses after it had been stood for 3 hours and the oil had pooled a few places. Does anyone know how the oil gets into the hoses and would it be possible to fit a catch tank
