Mercedes are hardly going to offer adive over the phone, if they did they would go bust and why should they offer techy advice over the phone, after all the problem may not be that simple.

Hi Colechelle,
I first tried a leak test on all injectors and no diesel came through, i checked the pressure on the high pressure pump to the injector rail(disconected from rail) very low pressure, i replaced high and then the low pressure pump including fuel filter, pressure was a little better on the high pump but still very low,

i called main dealer today, they know what the problem is they said. 'its the early A170 CDI' (year 2000), BUT couldnt give any advice as of company policy,

So they said to book in for a diagnostic quick test, i origanally called to ask them if its OBD2 compliant so i could buy a diagnostic reader(ebay) with no luck.
