Hello

Lately the saxo has been asking for maintenance, not long ago was the o-rings og the support of the diesel filter, this weekend I had to change oil and filters, but also discovered that i have to change discs urgently ...

But what brings me here is that since it got colder the car gets very unstable idling when i start it, to the point of shutting down if i don't accelerate, in the mean time let's out withe smoke from the exhaust , this lasts around 20, 30s and then everything becomes normal.

Anyone knows what this could be?

Ps: I'm thinking of buying brembo discs and pads, so you think it's a good choice? Or recommend something different?

Regards

Wait a few seconds longer after the glow plug light goes out,then try & start it.

Thank for the help steve67, the problem was two glow plugs that didn't worked, everything is back to normal, replace them byfour new beru plug and put new ferodo discs, everytinhg plus mechanic was 103€.
