Still not running AHHHHHHHHHH HELP!!!!!!

<< < (6/8) > >>

Xtremeteam:
the lever is for priming the fuel system up to the inhjection pump,did u get the nuts & olives u will need to fit it?? should take about 1/2 hour to fit & bleed the system,

thats the only pump on the tdi fuel system,just had a thought,it might be drawing air from the fuel sedimentor located on the inside edge of the O/S chassis rail at the rear wheel

H:
thats the primer, to prime the pump should you run out of fuel it pumps the fuel through to the lifter pump so that the lifter isnt pumping air

Fingers Mclean:
So if i take the fuel line off going to the fuel filter and prime the pump should fuel come out of the pump ???Yes??? :?

Spooky:
Yes, disconnecting the outlet and operating the lever should produce fuel ... However, the pump needs to be 'off cam' for the lever to work - if there's no resistance when you lift the lever, rocking the car (in gear, of course) will turn the engine slightly, thus moving the cam away from the pump and allowing the lever to work fully ...

Just don't forget to take it out of gear again before going for a start ... :wink:
