Hi
I am experiencing top end speed power loss with my 300tdi.
From reading on here it would seem that the lift pump could be the cause so I followed some instructions I read somewhere to 'test' the pump.
I took out the bleed screw from the top of the fuel filter and turned the engine over, initially nothing spurted out the top but did shoot out after around 3 seconds.
does anyone have any idea of how to interpret this?
what i think, is that the fuel filter was not full due to the lift pump being faulty. as far as i know it should be full, so should have spurted out straight away?
thanks in advance
