[Vwdiesel] Hard Start Diesel Rabbit

[Michael Alexander]

I have an 82 diesel rabbit with a 3 yo rebuilt 1600 engine. As the weather
cooled off, it became harder to start. I replaced the glow plugs with no
improvement. They are getting 10-11 volts at the plugs.

When starting, the advance must be pulled all the way out. It will crank  a
few revs without firing. Then it slowly starts to fire, all the while
belching white smoke. After it fires awhile, it will settle down and run
normally. Once warmed up it has good power.

I am thinking either pump or injectors.

Anyone have a quick diagnosis?
