2004 TD4 HSE 120k
Good morning to all.
Its been 2 months I have my FL I am fixing it and I love the car.
Most of the work has been in the interior (previous owner left the sun roof when it was raining) and its looking perfect.
Mechanically I have changed the oil 4 times , its cleaner now , bypass egr , did the drop links track rod ends and all the filters.
So the car has done any miles yet. twice or three times a week I let it run until it reaches temp. I have been noticing when I start it sometimes ( I say sometimes because the more I run it during the week the less it does) there is some blueish smoke that clears after a few seconds even if you rev it up.
Today when I start the car its 3 degrees there was some blueish smoke that cleared. Today its very cold so the car was making loads of white smoke that vanish after a few seconds out but it was a lot. I saw most of the cars today are doing LOADS of white smoke so it should be difference of temperature. But as temp goes up he stops making that white smoke on idle but it does when you rev it, as temp goes up it does it less and less.
So far you guys might think I'm crazy but the thing is. The smoke smells like burned fuel very much. enough that my clothes smell too. Is this just because of being cold, and the car being on this life of just running some times during the week and it needs to drive? Or is just me still afraid there might be something wrong with it?
Later on I will start it again and see how it goes
Many thanks
