1.6 HDI Fuel Filterl

Eskimo · 07-31-2011, 08:28 AM

I have changed my fuel filter but the car wont start. I have cranked the engine a few times and I have turned the ignition on and off half a dozen times to prime the filter but it still wont start. Help please!

Also the car is in 'economy mode ' now and I can't close the front, electrically controlled windows.

sounds like air....the economy mode will go away once the car starts....i would just keep cranking it...but i aint no professional....if i still struggled i'd start it with a tow....

Isn't there a primer bulb and air bleed on filter housing?
like on the 407's

Thanks - all sorted now. I found the primer bulb and squeezed that a few tomes - still no luck, then filled the new filter with diesel and swueezed the bilb. That did the trick!

You have to prime AND bleed it.
