PD130 Spluttery Start?

[wrayvon]

Just wondering if its normal when doing a (very) cold start that it starts really spluttery. I tend to rev it a little bit as soon as it starts to stop it sounding so nasty.

Hard to explain really but I think you get the jist

Its absolutely fine once I've revved it a bit and its got going.

Thanks

I might be wrong but my first thought was fuel issue or even maybe you need your injector nozzles cleaning...maybe your glow plugs are on the way out?

As I say, I might be wrong.

Think mines the same but I just put it down to being cold as when its warmed up there no problem at all or any performance loss

My FR TDi isn't spluttery at all from a cold start - not even last winter when it was super cold...which got me thinking what it could be. I guess there's a lot of variables

 

[wrayvon]

Hmmm well I didn't have a single problem when it was warmer. And I wouldn't say it causing me a problem now. Like i say, rev it for literally 1 second as soon as it starts and its hunky dory.

From your last post it doesn't sound a problem for sure

Ahh good stuff. Thanks for reassuring me, thought I had best to check. Better safe than sorry and all that

Most diesels are a little lumpy and rattling on cold starts. My 07 plate coughs a bit on very cold mor Inge but straightens itself after a few seconds

Mine does the same on really cold days.. seems to cough a bit then a puff of smoke out the back. Usually after that she's ok though.

Same here. Sounds rough / rumbly on first turn over then its fine, along with a puff of smoke too which is just from the initial start. No other smoke at all when driving.
I hate driving mine when cold, diesels are horrible and not smooth at all when cold

Mine doesn't sound spluttery/rumbly/grumpy/rough etc at all on start up. I'm feeling left out!

mines rough as hell in this cold. Got new glow plugs to sort it though !

Mine's rough in the mornings, but the map seems to have reduced some of the roughness and it's not as bad as it used to be when running with the standard map.

started my pd100 this moring in -16 took about 3-4 seconds to start but is fine after that

Out of interest do you have the EGR blanked off?

I don't have an EGR, got removed and mapped out (as well as it can on a BLT) could be something to do with the splutter.
