Hi, I have done a bit of a search on this one but wondered if you can shed some light on my issue:
2.0 PD TDI with 88k (miles) and cam belt done by dealer at 80k.
I've only just purchased this one and on another issue in another post I have just had a brand new DMF, clutch and slave cylinder installed to solve a nasty ticking sound when the car is really hot. (garage thought it was this)
I was hoping this would solve the nasty idle when cold but it hasn't. It is really rough when first started to the point where the engine does seem to jump about a bit and you can hear quite a clunking too, I gather this is the new DMF making this noise.
There is also some blue smoke at start up in cold. No smoke when fully warmed up.
When hot I have managed to get the car pretty smooth at idling by upping the revs to 884.
I have VAGCOM and there are no faults at all, and from watching measuring blocks can see the temp sensors are all reading normal and the glow plugs are being fired (1.61 secs) and can see they stay on post glow for a bit before being switched off.
The revs seem to be higher when they are on?
I think when the glow plugs stop this nasty idle kicks in until the car is warmed up.
On block 13 things seem within spec, nothing out of the ordinary here. Pretty balanced.
My previous 2.0 PD with 165K on the clock did not do this - perhaps I should have kept it
I noticed oil was a little high so have taken some out.
New air filter but unsure of the fuel filter. I was changed at 40k as far as I can prove.
Movie - noise is noticeable from about 20 seconds in...[timer counts back in this movie]

Is there anything else I should check? Thanks all.
