Hello
I have an issue with my new to me 307cc HDI 135, its very poor at starting and smokes like mad for a few minutes once it finally gets going.
It feels like its missing on one or more cylinders and gives off some rather impressive "blueish" smoke signals while doing it which my neighbours do not really appreciate. (its very smelly and hurts your throat/eyes if you get a face full of it)
I have checked and cleared the fault codes, driven it for a while and now have two faults showing, P1351 and P1351P which look like they are related to glow plug/pre-heater circuit and the emissions system.
Once the cars cleared itself it runs fine and performs well.
The heater plug solenoids been changed as that was an easy and cheap thing to do as I had access to a known good one but that has not altered anything.
Next thought is glow plugs. (a beggar of a job if what I Have read is correct)
Has anyone has a similar experience and is this most likely down to the glow plugs and regeneration not happening as it should?
The smoke is worrying me at startup but there no sign of the engine using oil excessively.
