synergie starting?

Unread post by petherwins »

Hi all hope somebody can help with my starting probs.
When I leave the car for over a day its seems that the diesel drains back to the tank? If I use the primer bulb its starts ok,and fine for the rest of the day.I've got no leaks and changed fuel filter around 3 months ago(its been fine up until last week.thanks in advance for any replies,Alan

If your sunergie has the ole XUD TD Engine, check your Injector leak off pipes, these can get quite brittle from heat, and split, it may split enough to let air in and allow draining, but not enough to allow diesel to seep out..

It can really only be fuel feed and return pipes, as you have eliminated anything else by useing the Prime bulb before starting..
