C270 W203 fuel filter

HI all.

Basic question I know , but just want to get it right. About to do a B service. Do I have to bleed the system or just crank it, I have seen posts on her that say you need to fill the filter with diesel?

As an aside does any one how to clear the service message that comes up please.

Filling with diesel doesn't make much difference, it's the air present that takes time to purge before it'll start.

Easy to flatten the battery, especially this time of year.

Thanks, so its just a matter of turning it over until it purges all the air ?

Yes, it may take a few crank cycles to get it going. I usually give it a sniff of easy start to help pull them through, not too much though....!!

To reset your service interval, try this:

Turn on ignition.
Scroll to find ‘spanner’ symbol.
Press and hold reset button for around four seconds.
When spanner disappears, press reset button for further three seconds.
Display will ‘beep’ and interval will be reset to zero.

Umble.
