    300tdi Cold Weather problems

    Hi there, I think you might be right and the lift pump is knackered, no resistance even after giving the engine half a crank, but it was doing this before and no problems. Would the cold weather and a knacked lift pump cause this? Would it run okay with a shot lift pump in warm weather?

    I dont think the fuel is frozen as its flowing out of the bottom of the fuel filter clearly with no water when bleeding

I have been considering a 2 inch suspension lift anyway, however I have been...
