help with focus diesel
mate of mines got a focus diesel estate that intermitantly loses power and stalls. the car is on a t reg and is a 1.8. i think its a mechanical pump diesel not common rail, i havent looked at the car yet but wondering where to start, was going to start by looking at the boost hoses.

If it was mine the first thing i would be changing would be the fuel filter.

Well its done well for 150.000 n its never had the filter changed. My mate did a fuel filter on a tdci focus and it was a nightmare to bleed.

fill the filter up with new diesel before refitting it then it should be alright if you leave it idling for a little while
