Hi All
I have recently had an issue when the car would crank but not start. It had a quarter of a tank. I put some fuel in and it spluttered into life. I have kept the car topped up with fuel since and all was fine. Today after being sat up for 12 hours it started then died. Then wouldnt restart it has 3/4 of a tank.
After about 20 seconds of cranking it started. I have read alot about the high pressure pump which i believe is the culprut. There is fuel to the filter which is fairly new and no air bubbles iin the fuel line injecgors are fine etc, however i noticed the clear pipe under the high pressure pump was half full of fuel so i believe i have a leak back on it.
Has anyone else had this problem and is it a case of changing the pump? or os there an easy fixl? it isnt leaking fuel. I go away on friday for two weeks so the car will be sat at the airport so need to fix it before !!
thanks all i have attached a picture showing the pipe that was half full to the left of the black line to the right was empty.
