Guys
The intank diesel pump on my TD5 has be whining away for ages, its never bothered me too much. However it has been getting worse and worse and the vehicle has become difficult to start. The final straw came about 6 weeks ago when the bloody thing cut out in the que for the severn bridge toll and I couldnt get it going again resulting in me sitting there like a lemon much the the 'amusement' of my fellow bridge goers.
So I took the plunge and changed the pump, purged the system of air, blah blah. Only problem is that its made no difference the pump is still whining and the engine often seems to cut out when I come to a stand still after a long run and its a pig to get started again.
Im thinking air must be getting into the system somewhere, but im stuggling to find where. Ive been all over the fuel system and can find no sign of diesel coming out. Im thinking it might be a crack in the filter housing or the injector seals. Any comments or other suggestions??
