quote: It is but you just have to remember and fill the fuel filter with diesel first, or if it has a priming pump do this and leave one of the pipes off until you get diesel coming out the top of the filter and then try for a start. Or if its a newer car that primes when you turn on the ignition then do this a few times | |

I spent ages filling up the filter, trying to bleed it via the injectors and bleed screws and didn't get any fuel at all. Must have spent at least 2 hours trying to do it that way. | |

My combo did exactly the same when I changed mine Jamie. I brimmed the filter then filled the out pipe that comes off the filter with filtered diesel. Then a shit load of easy start and I finally got it going after having to jump it because it flattened the battery :facepalm: | |

Just an airlock in the fuel system, just needs turning over until the filter fills up then crack off the injector furthest away from the filter and bleed it, just don't forget to tighten it up. | |

Have you replaced the copper washers on the feed union? if you have left one washer off it wont run as it sucks air instead of Diesel i had this on my old one. | |

like broster said, spray brake cleaner or better like easy start in the intake pipe, vauxhall derv's are a pita for this | |

No self primer on it, checked all the seals over, I guess I'll just have to keep filling the filter then and hopefully that will work. | |

Spray brake cleaner into the intake to get it running, you will have created an air lock in the fuel system now. | |

maybe the injector might have some dirt in there when you took the old filter out? | |

Is there a primer on it? like a small rubber pump in the engine bay? | |

Does it have a self primer? | |

If you upped the fuelling & boost previously, may I suggest it could have something to do with that?! | |

Tried that. Put the old filter back on too to see if maybe there was a fault with the new one but still no joy. | |

The fuel filter will be empty. | |

Just changed the diesel filter on the Astra and now the bastarding thing won't start :boggle: It did start at 1st but as soon as I rev'd it, it would die. Now it won't start at all. Took the line of injector 1 and no fuel squirted out. |
