My 2000 BMW 320d recently had a new injection pump fitted, the old one failed because of contaminated
fuel (so I was told). Since then starting the car from a warm engine
can be really difficult, I have to turn the key 3-4 times before it
starts, then is followed with clouds of smoke. Although from a cold engine it starts no problem at all. The garage that fitted the pump said that the contaminated
fuel might have done internal damage, but they can’t say what with out
stripping the engine down. Has anyone come across this problem before,
do you think that I should get rid of the car before anything else goes
wrong?
Answer: Sounds like one
or more injectors are sticking. Cold engines use more fuel to start,
but warm ones don’t. Smoke is a dead give away that the air/fuel mixture is wrong when warm.
