:lol: Just had a similar problem with daughters RR tdi after ministrations from the prat at her garage in Norwich. This pillock said it had an air lock and took all the pipes off, then reconnected them using the return fuel pipe as the feed to the pump. So it was drawing air in as that pipe doesn't go to the bottom of the tank. Swapped the feeds around now runs like a goodun.

Should add found that after a 250 mile round trip with Ifor Williams on to recover the beast. He also said he didn't think it needed any welding for the MOT. So far, passenger side cill and rear body X member  :cry:  :cry:
The same guy serviced next doors Beemer and the sump plug fell out after 5 miles so a £3000.00 bill for a new engine, a man to be avoided I think. :wink:

I had similar probs when converting to diesel, my so called empty petrol tank turned out have about a litre or so of petrol, it wouldnt stay running , cut out after a minute or two, then I got air dragged in via the fuel filter heater, it wasnt seated properly. Real easy problems, but a [!Expletive Deleted!] to find when you are a bit stressed.

prime the system up using the lift pump, undo the vent screw on the top of filter housing to let all the air out and the old girl will run  :wink:
