smokey 200tdi
TDi90:
hi hi!
basically my defender 200tdi is smokey.... and before now it really diddnt bother me but its getting worse.
from cold on startup there is white smoke, this smoke carries on especially when i give it the tinyest bit of throttle, it puffs white smoke as if the timing was out, but i know the timing is in because i only recently did the cambelt and the timing was perfect when it was done. i am not loosing any water and there is no slimy white stuff at the oil filler cap. its puzzling me... please help! it goes back to normal after about 2-3 minutes of it running....
thanks in advance!

i had this on my 200tdi...
Injector was leaking overnight, hence excess fuel in the cylindar.
Got worse over time - it used to run as lumpy as hell for the 1st min before i fixed it.
Might also be worth checking the glow plugs 1st - they are cheaper!!

Is the oil greyish or emulsified on the dipstick?
Could be a dribbly injector as said.
Does it happen again when you stop & re-start after engine has warmed?
How many miles are on the engine?
Cheers
