Bleeding the
fuel system
The injection pump
on the TDI engine is self priming, however, should you change the
filter or run out of fuel, the system may need bleeding as far as the
fuel filter. A hand pump is fitted to the engine for this
purpose.(see below).
1. Slacken off the
bleed screw on top of the fuel filter.
2. Operate the
lever on the lift pump repeatedly until air-free fuel flows from the
filter outlet.
3. Tighten the
bleed screw on top of the fuel filter.
4. Start the
engine as normal but avoid turning the engine over continually for
above 20 secs to avoid damage to the starter motor - it may take
several attempts. |
