Does it sound harsh/knocking. if so sounds like the pump timing is out probably due to timing belt jumping a tooth,or two

We had a customers car come in (AX Diesel 1.5) and took a long time to start hot and cold and smoked like a WW2 vet! Turned out to be 2 leaking/dodgey injectors if i remember!
Cant imagine that the engines are different!
Hope this helps?!

Sounds very much like the symptoms of incorrect pump timing!

Check the pump and valve timing first . Have had similar problems with tight valve clearances on that engine as well

The 106 1.5D I had suffered the same problem and got progressively worse until the camshaft/wheel key sheered, dropped the belt, bent 3 valves and cracked the centre cam bearing cap. I ended up fitting a 2nd hand engine. Turned out to be a duff injector.

TBH the cast/forged in camshaft key was IMHO nowhere near upto the job - about the same size/strength as a Rice Krispy. Also, because the cam runs directly in the ally head and damage renders it useless.
