Changed fuel filter but could not see how to prime system and therefor car would not start. fitted original filter and it started no problem can anyone advise procedure for getting fuel up to filter?
Change fuel filler as normal then connect fuel feed from tank connect injectors leak off to fuel fillter leaving the rail flow pipe off this is the midddle one with the arrow pointing out
connect a piace of clear plastic pipe to this connection and slowly suck the fuel through the filtter and half way up pipe you can see this happen stop sucking the fuel will flow back to fillter take the pipe you were sucking through off and connect the feed to rail pipe turn on and crank engine she will start immediately
The dealer has a hand pump that helps to suck fuel through system
Check you have the filter fitted so the flow arrow is the correct way round.
Vehicle should have electric fuel transfer pump. Cycle the pump a few times whitout cranking engine, that shoud get fuel to the filter.
not of this car unfortunately - you need to manually fill the filter with deisel - either syring it in with a 6mm syringe, or **** it through by fitting a plastic tube
crikey - that's one sensitive bad language filter ... ok then apply suction to draw deisel through the fuel line and fill the filter :)
