New thread, same smoke. Sort of. I decided to drive it today for an errand. Glow plugs glow, car starts immediatly, then sputters and dies. After a couple times of this routine, if I keep my foot working accelerator, it will stay running. Heavy smoke!
Backed outta my driveway, choking on smoke I'm backing into. Got on the road, and the smoke cleared, and stayed gone. Ran about a 10 mile round trip, with 2 stops. Both restarts, car started fine and idled, no real smoke, however it does have a noticable miss.
Got home, let it sit about 3-4 hours, went out to start it, and it wouldn't stay running, and when it did after same routine above, smoked.
One other point of interest, I've always heard what a dog the 240D is. I drove one last week, an automatic. Noticably quicker than my wagon! I tried a 0-60 timed today, and at 28 seconds I had run out of my 1/4 mile road, and was only at 57 or so. It has always been that bad of a dog, I just never had a reference point until I drove the 240D, and also read some 0-60 times in other threads.
Still at a loss. On a brighter note, at least the AC worked today...
