Hello folks 
I went through a number of posts, but couldn't really find a really appropriate answer.
The problem is the following. On coldish mornings, the very first start of my 2004 Leon TDI 110 (ASV) is problematic. There's hesitation before it starts, and when it finally does, there's a quite a decent puff of white smoke behind it. The car cranks a number of times, and finally starts.
It's got a brand new battery (maybe 2 months old), and once it starts, throughout the day there are no starting problems. It purrs (well, as much as a diesel can purr) when running, no problems whatsoever. It's just the start that bothers - and it's only the first start in the morning that's problematic. It's rather suspicious that I had the problems a few weeks back, but I spent 2 weeks in Greece on vacation (where it was much much warmer and the car was in the sun, though covered) and it had no problems at all, so I'm thinking that it's the cold weather that's causing the problems.
Any ideas?
