Grey Smoke Q

Post by MichaelBeck »

Just wondering if this is normal - (1st diesel ive had)

When starting my 1kz from cold (ie standing all night) there is a puff of grey smoke, Just one puff the instant it starts. Doesn't smoke under load or warming up. Just the one when it fires. Anything to worry about?

Cool thanks guys.

Truck has 250kms on it. Have had cooling sys go through and changed every fluid and filter on it. Any other 1st things it would be recommended to go through?
