I have a 02 Jetta TDI with 168K on it. The car is running find, I had the EGR cleaned up, and I am taking good car of it, but I notice few month ago that I got smoke at cold start in every condition. The temperature can be -25 C (-13F) to 30 C (86F) and even during a hot summer day I am getting smoke. It look more like a blue smoke. I had my car driven by a friend and I was following it, and there is no smoke during driven except under full exceleration. Anyone have an idea about what is the cause of that smoke?
Thanks

Max, try doing the diesel purge with LubroMoly. Its a fairly simple task and may help.

All diesels will smoke at start. My 2000 has 280k and runs great, but will smoke for 15-30 seconds when cold . Good luck.
