Not good on engines but sure someone else will be able to help however you will need to tell us what engine you have ie Dci, 16v, VVTi + engine size and age of car.

What engine is in it?

Need more info on the car, age, mileage etc...

hi sorry , its a 2003 megane (new shape) 1.9dci 80k on clock ,

like i said before its only when its cold , once it warm it runs fine , but when i leave it to cool down it runs very ruff again , and smokes a little and turbo does not kick in too good for the first few minutes of driving , but when turbo starts kicking in it runs perfect.


thanks alot for help ,

First thing to check is your glow plugs, chances are one or more is faulty.

If this proves fruitless, then get a cylinder compression test done, it could also be worth while getting your injectors checked out as well.

But first try the Glow plugs

i would go with IainMW on the glow plugs...
