White smoke every morning

[Willboy]

Hi all I'm new to this and have a few issues !

Every morning it has about 10 second delay start and when starts it puffs out a lot of white smoke but stops when running ! Any ideas

Also it showed on the temp gauge that it was very high but when checked water levels it was fine ? Any ideas

I topped it up just before we drove 120 miles with normal water ! Would've this affected it ?

Many thanks

I'm assuming it's diesel...

 

Before trying anything else I would be inclined to run the tank down to nearly empty and then fill it up with something like Shell V power diesel and/or a decent diesel injector cleaner.

 

Once that tank starts flowing through, I'd take it out and give it a good thrashing through the gears (once warmed up) to try and clear it out a bit. Definitely worth using a decent fuel and/or injector cleaner occasionally with a diesel too in my opinion.

It went in had diagnostics done and turned out to be 2 glow plugs out and the over heating was down to a faulty sensor which had now been replaced

I came out this morning and still got a delayed start and white smoke at the start

Sorry about the delayed reply Will I've been away.

 

Was this ever resolved in the end or are you still getting the problem even after putting it into the garage?
