Hi guys,

So after refitting engine on my 2.0 d V70 I can’t seem to bleed the fuel lines… after much sucking with a turkey baster on the return line at front of engine (fuel filter is located next to fuel tank at rear and difficult to access) I seem to have got rid of quite a few pockets of air. She will fire up with ez start and I can see fuel running through supply line into pump with sporadic bubbles, but once I stop spraying engine dies. I’ve been at it for quite a few hours. Do I need to persevere? Or could there be something else at play that I’m not considering? I’ve read a few other methods on threads, such as pump on fuel filter side, but as I say very difficult to access on my 2009 v70. I’m going to try compressor in fuel tank but can’t seem to find the thing.

I’ve also noticed there’s a valve (like a tyre valve) on the feed line just before it connects to pump on right hand side of engine. Anyone know what this is for? Assuming it’s for connecting a vacuum pump.
