Jetta 2001 tdi will not start when starts no power and smokes

blowing white smoke possibly means steam from water, you may have an internally blown head gasket.

THE SMOKE YOU HAD IS BECAUSE MANY TRIES TO START COLLECTED FUEL IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS AND SUDDENLY BURNT ON START. ANY WAY THE HESITATION OF CRANK START FOR LONG TIME CHECK WHETHER YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP,FUEL FILTER OR COLD START SENSOR. CHECK YOUR SPARK PLUGS CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND DO WITH SCANNER THE ADAPTATION.S

Check & replace all four glow plugs of the engine! See also if the glow plugs relay and power supply wires are in good condition. Good Luck!

White smoke is most likely antifreeze from a leaking head or intake gasket.is the oil milky looking and over full level? Is the antifreeze milky or low or coming out the overflow tank?

If you have blue/grey smoke coming out of the tailpipe, you are getting fuel, you can also check to see fuel if you pull back the braided cover on the fuel line (left front side of engine compartment). If you see smoke, check the glow plug relay (180) under the dash.

if the old turbo blew,chances are you have swarf in the top of the cylinders and it has burnt the valve seats.white smoke is normally unburnt fuel/water mix.also if the car has been standing it could be just condensation it the exhaust pipes which will dissipate when car is left to run until very hot or thrashed for about 10 mins.hope its the latter.....

my 1.9 polo dti revs to 3000 then losses all power and starts to smoke

It is hard starting my VW 2003 Jetta. It usually take 5 to 10 cranking before it turns over. Then it run normally. It only happens when the car has not been driven for about 6 hours.

Ouch! you've got engine coolant in the exhaust from a leak somewhere...DO NOT run this engine until you get someone (dealer is best in this instance) to diagnose ($50-125)

on some diesel engines the glow plugs will cycle after the engine is started. it does sound like your glow plugs are not all working that would cause the hard start and excessive smoke when it does start.
