Thanks for all the replies guys, I'll try leaving the glow plugs on a little longer tomorrow morning to see if that helps. Also once the engine is warm it does idle at 800 rpm. I do also find that when it is first started that it tends to smoke a bit but once warmed up the smoke clears. I also have used an additive,called Diesel Fuel Catalyst by Red Line.
Being new at this game (owning a diesel) i just don't know what to expect. I will take a compression check. I was wondering if the injection timing could be out some also? I've read on some threads that lack of power and smoking at idle can cause this to happen, what do you guys think?
