Smoky Start

[Roweow]

I have a 2006 Yaris D4D which has done 10,000 miles. However in a morning, or when its stood for a while and gone cool it starts quite rough and produces a puff of smoke. It has Smart Entry & Start which i think might be an issue? Is it allowing the plugs long enough to warm up?

Does anyone else have a similar issue? Its been great apart from that and i'm getting 58 to 62 mpg as an average which i'm pretty happy with! Just ashame its spits out crud in a morning and then sounds rough for 10 to 15 seconds afterwards.

That's because it's a diseasal.......................that is what they do ;)

Have to agree with the above really ....... a blast on the motorway will help plus you can get cleaners that you put in with your fuel that works very well if your bothered?

*PMSL at people that still can't spell DIESEL

[Yaris SR Kid]

lol no one can spell DIESEL very well:P

[seveer unaek]

I can spell it, I can even encorporate it into a sentence...

Diesels suck big fat hairy monkey balls.

Just kidding, iv got 2... they're both fine at what they do.

The 'smog' is a normal thing, it's built-up soot being released that's all; nothing to worry about.

LOL ...... watch out dude, as you may blow a brain cell :P ;)

[alanbradley]

yeah, its just what they do on cold mornings. Mine's been smelling particularly "diesely" lately.

As have been mentioned, a quick "Italian tune-up" won't do any harm either. Clears out the tubes. ;)

Mine to come to meantion it ....... plus they take FOREVER to warm up so you can put your foot down :(

Petrol was alot quicker ........

Have you also noticed how diesel starts with the word "die...."

Don't worry Dave - my V6 takes longer than the Yaris to warm up too. Nevermind, I can easily make up the rest of the journey in much quicker time... :D

[Roweow]

We are a family of 3 diesels and mine is the filthiest on start up. But so long as everyone else's does it thats fine! It gets a blast down the dual carriage way every day on my 70 mile round trip to work! Supermarket Diesel!

Thanks guys!

Try changing from supermarket fuel ........ I noticed a difference when changed to BP diesel

Better performance, less smoke out the back, and is a little quieter

*Performance - doesn't add 100BHP but makes thing feel smoother/cleaner

I'll second that

I tryed supermarket diesel twice.... I noticed alot more smoke on start up and on acceleration... changed back to Shell and no more smoke and the the car runs better.

[alanbradley]

I used to always run on Tesco stuff and never had a problem. Now I mainly run on Shell (because its convenient) and I don't really notice a difference.

The time I did notice was the 2/3 tank of BP Ultimate Diesel it got in Bedford on the 'Pod weekend.

I'll have to look at that, I got into the habit of filling my Yaris' tank when I was passing a Tesco & I've been doing the same with the Golf so I'll try to nip into Shell instead & see if I notice the difference

[seveer unaek]

My company uses BP as it's filling station and it was fine, then I accidentally filled up with BP Ultimate... I got 20 extra miles to the tank and it started quicker too! Shame im not allowed to fill up with it all the time!

Mine is much less smokey now the Jetex air filter is in - Alan's spot on re Italian Tune Up by the way :)

[alanbradley]

The black smoke's caused by over-fuelling, so the more air you can get in the less likely you are to have the issue - a good sign that the filter does make a difference.

I maintain that mine just doesn't smoke. I've tried all sortd of "under load" with people following me and it just won't do it. Which is good.

My filters sat in the garage ...... cant get the :censor: to fit :ffs: :ffs: !!!

*Yes I have trimmed it
