Just need a bit of reassurance as I am fairly conviced I know what is wrong.
Vehicle 300Tdi.
Yesterday, whilst returning home on the M5 just south of Bristol the old girl shuddered to a halt with no power and would barely tick over. Called out very nice man and she started fine and drove fine for 15 miles or so. Waved goodbye to very nice man. Re joined M5 and again no power though would hit 60 or so eventually. However on a slight incline no power. Limped into Segemoor, Called VNM & saved lots of fuel by being carried home!!!
My thoughts after doing a couple of searches are as follows:- I think the injection pump can suck just enough through to keep going at high revs. There is no fuel present at the bleed screw on the fuel filter casing when the engine is cranked. I can not 'prime' the system as the lever on hte pump is useless.
QED:- fuel pump F****d.
Anyone agree???????
Thanks in advance.
