Ford Focus Smokes---- Help

Kels100

Hi I have a 53 plate ford focus 1.8 TDCI. I have noticed in the morning it is letting out a blueish colour smoke when i start it up and put my foot on the accelerator and also i have notice it has started to pull back when its cold but is fine once its warm. Someone has told me the injectors need cleaning or changing and someone else said maybe a full service needs doing to replace the filters etc.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so can someone help me as i would rather go for a cheaper option than the expensive option first!!!

Help please!

Is it using more oil than it normally would?

Blue smoke = oil

Grey smoke = unburnt fuel

To be honest i'm not to sure i only brought the car over a month ago, so still trying to get used to what it uses alot of and what it doesn't... i have been reading on google and alot have come back as the injectors. but i know thats the pricey option out of the two!

It could well be that the engine is past it's best then.

Basically they are suggesting you bought a lemon: I.E it was F**KED before you bought it.

If you are lucky it could just be using a little bit of Oil, Worst case is that this new purchase will be a very costly mistake,

Hope it works out for you.
