cardi Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 My diesel engine, non turbo has always started immediately even in the coldest weather. I just changed the fuel filter, bled the system as per handbook now the engine still goes fine but it takes lots of battery to get it started. Can imagine problems in the winter. Could it be an air lock or something? Anybody? Quote
Johndouglas Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 If this problem follows immediately on from your fuel filter change, the answer is that you haven't got everything back in an air-tight manner. Check the unions on the filter and the sealing ring around the top. Quote
cardi Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply. I tend to agree with you so I will try again and use PTFE on the unions. Quote
