Hi,
I have a 1998 Fiat Bravo 1.9 TD 100sx. The last few days it hasn't been starting, just turns over but doesn't fire up, takes about 5 minutes of constant sticking my foot on the fuel peddle & holding onto the key. When it does eventually start up it kicks out a load of white smoke (this also happens when the car is warm & i put my foot down) After the first morning start it has no problems starting for the rest of the day. When trying to start it, there is a knocking sound (kinda like metal knocking) that seems to come from the left hand side of the engine, it's very subtle (this then goes, but sometimes i can hear it again when it's idling) Does anyone know what this could be please? I've put anti freeze in it, also this started the morning after i put some diesel in it from running it really low.
Thank you. :bang:
