You are right C Norman they do have glow plugs and yes I am waiting before starting the engine. But still getting blue smoke until it's warmed up. Any ideas :?: It is starting to annoy me and god knows how the traffic behind me manages for first couple of miles. We even put a new thermostat in engine I look like a bleeping red arrow :)
Ralph:
Sounds like valve stem seals are worn and oil is seeping past them have seen this problem many times. Heater plugs seem to make no difference at all and are not really needed on a di engine.If it needs heat to start in the mornings its a sign of low compression.

not sure but think gaurdian means they have glow plugs but dont need to use them. i dont on my 300 but havent checked iff it smokes. dont think its unusual but depends how excessive it is ?. alan.....
