had a road side recovery guy empty my fuel filter to check for water in the fuel, he just fill'd it up with diesal and i had no problems starting after, it says in the hand book that its not good to run out of fuel but if you do you need to put at least 5 Lt in the tank to get it restarted, which tells me that it should start, and you get 2 keys with 2 remote locking fob's in the uk.

There have been some earlier posts on this. Including one where AndrewS made his own priming tool.
But as i mentioned then and as DCH mentions, there is no need to bother, it does seem on all occasions i have come across so far to self prime eg: fill it with fuel and turn it over. Mike |

Sat on the Pont-Aven ferry returning from a trip to Morocco. I had to replace the fuel filter on the 130. It would not re-start when the new (filled with diesel) filter was fitted. I had to prime the system as described in the thread posted in the past using the home made tool. So glad I had it with me.
I have replaced filters in the past and never had to use the priming tool, the cars simply start, cough and splutter but keep running and all is OK. TF I had it with me. 130's have feeling's as well you know  |

Sounds like a gangster's grass! "I believe Bobby Crockfoot shot Jimmy 2 Fobs in the alley behind The Dog and Duck, he's now looking skyward counting traffic from under the M25!" Sorry 'Mad Moment' there! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

I had the same sort of fault, changed the filter but didn't fill it up
I used some 10mm POLYURETHANE (soft and pliable) compressed air hose and a lift pump for a 200tdi - worked a treat. The polyurethane pipe is the soft type and it wont damage the seals if you're careful Ickle |
