   Hello
   
   Lately the saxo has been asking for maintenance, not long ago was the o-rings og the support of the diesel filter, this weekend I had to change oil and filters, but also discovered that i have to change discs urgently ...
   
   But what brings me here is that since it got colder the car gets very unstable idling when i start it, to the point of shutting down if i don't accelerate, in the mean time let's out withe smoke from the exhaust , this lasts around 20, 30s and then everything becomes normal.
   
   Anyone knows what this could be?
   
   Ps: I'm thinking of buying brembo discs and pads, so you think it's a good choice? Or recommend something different?
   
   Regards
