If it don't give out a puff of black smoke on cranking... its a petrol engine

I think I'd be worried if mine didnt give a puff on start up now.

Got my 90 cheap cos the kid that was selling it believed it was knackered cos it smoked for 2 seconds when cold :doh:, his loss my gain.

What and you didnt correct him, how dishonest of you!!

big si · Jul 5, 2011

well i didn't want him to feel like i was tring to belittle all 16 years of his life experience,the boy had more toys than he knew what to do with.

Well serves the silly spoilt kid right then. Good skills!

I can do a long journey, stop for 2 minutes and on restart it puffs out the same puff of black smoke as it did when it was stone cold.
I believe its just caused by overfuelling on the start up cycle. Nothing to worry about.

I asked the same question when I first got my 200 tdi.
Its normal on start up.

Mine spits a full sized cloud out when I start it whether hot or cold. Only one puff though and after that i have to floor if to get any smoke.

Mad200TDI · Jul 6, 2011

they all do it

It sprays a little oil onto the piston when first started on the early ones, so the engine doesn't suffer from heavy wear & tear for the first few mins or miles.

black mark on my wall where I park says its normal
