Hello All,
I have what I expect to be a fuel delivery issue with my 300TDI. Yesterday I was driving along and all of a sudden it started to feel like it was running out of fuel, any throttle input made it feel like it was out of fuel. I stopped and turned it off, after a while of cranking it fired up and ticked over perfect, then spluttered to a stop and now it wont start, the things I have done are;
Replaced Lift Pump
Cleaned filter housing, replaced filter and cleaned fuel lines from lift pump
There is half a tank of diesel in so its not empty
The fuel seems to be pulling from the tank fine as I cracked off the lift pump to filter pipe and it comes out well
When cranking and cracking off any injector pipe there is very little fuel coming through of any of them, am I looking at a fuel pump issue, are there any known ones? I dont believe it to be the stop solenoid as when it had fuel it fired up immediately ran for a few seconds then died, its like it now has no fuel at all now. The filter is full, bleed screw cracked and pours diesel when cranked so I dont think its air, any help would be greatly appreciated.
