Nemo hard start after diesel filter

Unread post by ohspecial1 »

Hi Folks

Changed diesel filter today
And guess have got air in it

Does start but it takes 4 cranks

I know it has a manual primer but how do you get air out

If it will start and run, albeit with difficulty, then the air should work its way through. I had a similar problem a few years ago when I changed a diesel injector on our 1.6 Hdi 308. I drove the car for a couple of miles and that sorted it out.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
