200TDI Motor
Changed the glow plugs out on my motor and 3 of 4 were soaked with oil one was dry. The rearmost was the dry one . It is not burning oil and I suspect that the 3 that were wet were not working due to hard cold starting.
Even with a 30 second cycle on the plugs in temps around 35F
I did the work after driving the car and waiting about 15 minutes after parking(30min by the time i pulled the plug).
The cyclone filter might also be clogged a bit and when I disconnected the pipe that goes to the air intake there was oil that poured out of the pipe. is there anything I should be worried about
Oil level seems steady
No noticeable blue smoke
Black puff of smoke on startup and then clears out
Some grey smoke while engine is warming up (noticeable at night with headlights from the car behind you)
Oil pressure is at 65psi on cold idle and 20psi on hot idle
Picture with 4 plugs from left to right represents front of engine to back
thanks for the help
