Ford S-Max 07 diesel 2L tdci - rough and white smoke and on cold start - malin2000

Excessive of white smoke on cold start in te mornig, and also rough idle. After 2mn it all clear and run sweet the rest of the day, no lacking of power. Had 4 new Ford injectors, glow plgs,cylinders compression checked 27 to 25 psi. Checked glow plug relay, fuse, circuit, egr valve, timing, crank and cam sensors, leak off pipes, fuel pipe feed, and return. All ok. Event replaced fuel filter. After all that the vehicle still run rough and white smoke on cold start. Many thanks for any ideas. Cheers

What is the fuel rail pressure on cranking/idle?

Sounds like failed HG.

Is the coolant level stable or falling?

If the head gasket had failed, there would not be consistent compression across all the cylinders.

Thanks
