Mondeo Diesel Fuel Filter
I have a 2004 LX TDI. Haynes says you do not have to prime the new filter i.e. fill it with clean fuel.
I followed that and the car ran for 10 seconds. I tried turning it over but the battery ran flat, sucking the fuel, using a drill driven pump, unscrewed the injectors then turned it over but nothing worked.
Got my son to tow me and after 3 goes it ran and runs better than ever.
You have to watch the glow plug indicator...it will flash....turn it off and back on again when it goes out put it in gear again...took me 3 goes.
Be warned that if you turn it over too much you could ruin your starter motor!
