Hi all.. I don't post much (at all?) since I tend to find what I'm looking for on a search..
But I can't find a solution to this..
Slight rough startup (but immediate, no struggling to start at all)
Then, in the first ~5 minutes, between 1 & 3 times, it chugs like a mofo for a few seconds (and if I power through, there's loads of light coloured (grey I think) smoke)
Soon as the temp gauge starts moving it's fine.. no issues at all.
I've done a 1 litre diesel purge (chugged the whole litre at 2k+ revs, the dregs of the purge liquid were dirty) and also tried priming the fuel a few times before starting..
Air, fuel and cabin filter are less than 5k miles old. It could probably do with an oil/filter change..
It's had thermostat and coolant temp sensor (the one round the back) and new glow plugs.
Went through MOT with no issues.
No codes stored.
I've not deleted the egr yet.
It tends to get supermarket fuel but this problem didn't start until mid-December (after I'd had the car a couple of months)
Sorry to jump straight in asking for help..
