    Default Lots of Blue smoke on start up when cold?

    I have recently done an oil and filter change on my 1.9 CDTi SXi 150, and for some reason when shes been idle over night and i start her in the morning before work i get a big plume of blue smoke for 5 seconds and she sounds very rough, any1 know whats up? I know its been cold in the mornings lately but its got to be more than that?

    its normal to have this happen to a mapped cdti .
    it's the oil breather that feeds back into the turbo iv been talking about this with a few friend and what will stop it is a oil catch tank
