Bleeding the diesel system

(1/4) > >>

robbie:
Is there any special method of doing this??

I have air in the system from changing the Lift pump and am gonna sort it out on Friday.

Is it worth changing the fuel filter while I am doing this?? It seems that the fuel filter cant be changed without getting air into the system

the loon:
what sort of engine?
Best way I 've found is to crack open an injecter(one nearest to front of engine) and just keep it turning over.

word of warning though make sure you have plenty of charge in your battery
once you get fuel coming through put injector pipe back on and let it run for at least 10 minutes before you go anywhere just to make sure its all bled

robbie:
it is a 2.5 N/A

I guess the last resort is to tow it is it? I have heard it can be a pain in the backside bleeding the system, never done it before but looks like my learning curve is going vertical again ;)

timberdog:
I always crack all four and then close 4 3 2 1 but i hear lots of ways each to their own unless 200 TDI then they are pretty self bleed

robbie:
so the secret is to crack each injector then, not do the pipes at each connection?

And what about the fuel filter, should i change this whilst it is all to pot anyway?
