Hi

 

Just finished fitting another AFN 1.9 TDi engine to my Alhambra, after the original dropped an exhaust valve.

 

I don't want to endlessly turn the engine over to prime the diesel system, and as it does not have a priming bulb how do you prime the diesel system when you have had it completely apart?

 

Is there a technique to it or is it just a question of cranking it over until it catches?

Sorted, squirted diesel down the bleed off pipes into pump, and filled feed pipe with diesel.

 

A few turns and off she went, 'orrible knocking so i guess my static pump timing must be slighly out.

 

I will check tomorrow using VAG-COM pump timing software.

 

At least she runs and drives!
