Have you recently had the pipes changed?? If yes then it could be a simple fault caused by the pipes being swapped round with the feed pipe connected to the return connector and vice-versa.. Had this one time on a combo van.. would run for a bit then cut out..then repeat
Hello Kummy.....
I had a macanic look at my car 2 days ago, he said if i pump the the air out it should sort out?
I have never had any repairs done to the pipe work...But thinking back actually everything started when my heater stopped, the lights all functioned but no fan?
This is when everything started playing up to be fair......so i had the glow plugs changed a new battery still problems with starting car..
Then changed battery in imobalizer ..just in case...Also had the fuses cheacked....
The car normally goes well, but i did run the fuel right down a while back to be honest....That sounds quite costly the things that you stated
so i am thinking maybe giving it a shot of the pipe and letting out some fuel What would yopu suggest >?
I have however been greatly advised of a site by Masque, Renalt site so I hope that this bubbled fuel pipe can be fixed soon....thank you for your reply Kummy..
