I think you need to use a bulb type primer to draw fuel through from the tank. The system won’t bleed with fuel pump suction alone. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

You can also pressurise the tank through the breather to bleed the fuel system.

Thanks for this reply, this is what I ended up doing and it has seemed to clear the air lock and is allowing the car to run normally.
Is there any info on what could cause an air lock? I didn't move the car the last time it was used and ran the morning before it not starting. Any info so I can prevent this happening again as it was not an easy fix to do on a morning before I can get to work. |

For anyone following, it turned out to be the high pressure fuel pump. Whilst they are known for being pretty bombproof mine did end up going and wouldn’t allow the car to start at all.
Good way to check, try gravity feeding in fuel and if stalls with Jerry can on the floor then pump not strong enough to pull the fuel up P.S don’t know anyone knows of someone who would take the old part to refurb it? |
