D4204T fuel problem in v70 2.0d 2010

[gaita17]

hi guys, has anyone replaced the fuel filter in a v70 2.0d? I replaced mine and it has become impossible to start the engine and for what I read, this car dont have priming at all, not manual not automatic

Any tips? advice please?

haynes manual is not helping either.

Many thanks in advance

Disconnect the fuelline from the high pressurepump ,switch the electric pump on with the key in 2 until the fuel pours out switch off and connect the fuelline again
Keep cranking until engine goes on

This might help somebody else in future. I used a brake fluid pump to solve the problem.

I have this fluid pump that connects to the compressor and will suck the air/fluid wherever is connected to so I did/fabricate a little adaptor to it with a hose plastic connector of around 8 mm at one end and the other end around 6mm. Also I used an old rubber pipe.
First I removed the thick fuel line that has a white clip and suck the diesel until I could see it running through the pump and plug it back to its original location.
Next I remove the second fuel line which it has a red clip and suck the diesel from where this clip will connect so basically will look like from the engine and again, same way and once I see the diesel flowing plug it back to original location.

After all of this, I tried to start the car and after around 3 times trying did start without any problems at all.

My fighting days with the fuel filter are over

Process will take around 5 mins.

Good luck

2.0D's don't have a pump in tank,

They are not the easiest to bleed up once the filter has been changed,

We use a diesel primer pump fitted into fuel line to bleed up,

thanks a lot for the answer but I already figure it out how to prime the system really quick.

Thanks again
