Starting Problems 2.0 D4D
Hi My auris 2.0d4d has started having problems on a cold start. At the last cold snap car refused to start. I called the aa out and they got it going, accompanied by a puff of blueish/grey smoke. Dealer checked Battery and determined glow plugs to be at fault. Replaced under extended warranty. Car been ok for a few weeks until last night, started on 3rd attempt and same again this morning, again accompanied with blueish/grey smoke that stops once car is running. Warm starts ok, Oil levels good,
From my previous experiences cold start issues on the AD series engines are usually caused by faulty/failing suction control valves. There is a TSB regarding poor startability which describes how to test the valves and modified scv's are available along with a software update to cure these issues. Your local Toyota dealer should be able to assist. Devon
