diesels collect air, it's a game they love to play. they'll build up the bubbels inthe injector pipes over time of course they cant keep hold of all the bubbels  but onece they have saved up enough they throw a massive party and launch all the toys out of the pram, you put all the toys back in the pram ( bleed the injectors ) and all is fine  till it next dose it.

He tried bleeding the air out first, but it wouldn't budge.

Any tips on how to progressively bleed the air out? Is it just a case of loosening the injectors then tightening them up again?

Either way, this weekend it's time for a new alternator belt and fuel filter. Not sure which PAS belt to get as GSF list 2 different lengths  :undecided:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

ta Nick  :wink: Though by the time I've drove there and back again to return it I'd have used the fuel anyway (blasted Reading traffic  :angry: ). I'm sure they won't mind me fitting it outside their shop  :grin:

One of the guys there will probably be able to look at your car and tell you which one. There's one fella that works there who used to have a supercharged VR MKII. I suspect one is for a car with PAS and the other non PAS models.

Spot on, back each injector off in turn and you should get the air out.

Is that the older bloke @ GSF Reading? He was the 'german dude' and was shouting out the numbers to the 'french dude' who was serving me... well trying to serve me and get me the service parts  :grin: 


Wayne, cheers for that. I'll do it every now and then or if I spot air in the fuel lines.
