Hi Mark,
Welcome

I've got a similar issue with my gti. It looks as though it could be a rusty pulley. I'll let you know how I get on!

Thanks for the welcome I'll have a look at the pulleys later if I get chance.


Even tho the glow plugs look new they maybe naffed worth taking them out and haveing a look at them the smoke sounds to be all that fuel being injected and not started. Not sure on whinning noise maybe change belt or look to see one of the pullys got play in maybe??

Thanks for the welcome I'll check the glow plugs out see if there lighting up later. And see if there's any play in the pulleys. Could the whinning noise be the bearing in the water pump?
