Hi chaps,
Part of 96k service is to replace fuel filter - it looks like an easy job according to rave, apart from one bit:
Refit
4. Ensure mating faces are clean.
5. Lubricate seal on new filter with clean diesel fuel.
6. Fit filter to filter head. Tighten securely by hand.
7. Remove container.
8. Slacken fuel feed union at fuel injection pump
using LRT-12-117.
NOTE: Position cloth over feed union to
catch any fuel spillage.
9. Reconnect battery negative lead.
10. With assistance, turn on ignition switch to
operate fuel lift pump.
11. When all air is bled from filter, secure feed pipe
at injection pump. Tighten to 14 Nm (10 lbf.ft)
What does that red bit mean? Can someone give me the confidence to do this, I'm nervous about ending up with air in the system and having to bleed...
Thanks
