--- Quote from: "suggs" ---on my 200tdi i always get a puff of black smoke on start up, even if its only been standing for a few miniuits, but get nothing when driving even when driving hard.

bit of a pain as got to watch out for people walking past so as not to choke them lol..

Its soot, not smoke, as everything cools it flakes off, next start blows it out.

Your right to watch out for others, asthamatics (like me) can be very badly affected by such fine particulates, though buses left ticking over for hours until the passengers return as I see at work during the winter are a bigger problem, when they pull away having been gently filling the exhaust with carp the clouds of soot are enough to make anyone cough!

anaxemurderer:
Not all soot, some of the smoke is definately unburnt diesel. Otherwise it would happen when you start up having just turned it off.

I have to make sure the front door is closed before i start the truck, otherwise i fill the hallway up from smoke!
