Gentlemen and ladies...
Firstly, I have one glowplug not working. (tested as per Youtube)
My Touran is not starting so lekker, especially in the morning. Weather gets to like 10 degrees (lowest) but most the time its hot and humid.
She swings over but doesn't seem to start straight away, I fact she dies quite often on start up. When she does start, after 2 or 3 turns of the key, I have this huge puff of smoke behind me.
I do know that diesel motors smoke (this being my first) but this is a cloud of grey smoke.
Any takes?
