It is only bad or incorrectly fitted O rings, they fix the fault as the pipes must be air tight, including the ones on the return to tank.

Once you have got it running, turn off and you will see where the air bubbles form

If the pipes are genuine MB then they should fit. If the pipes have any rings indentations where the O rings sit then change the pipes and rings for new ones, this is always the case
