Hey being a tad brave here mentioning vauxhall I know

However I am intending on doing a service on a 57 plate astra 1.7 cdti and wondered if anyone knew what the script is with priming the fuel filter

looks like its a element type filter, done simmilar on older pugs etc but they normally have a priming pump..

Many Thanks in Advance :)

Should be banned for asking things like that on here Brian!

Least its no a question about a Corsa lol

Put as much fuel in if as you can and reassemble it, then try to brim it using a syringe - a method that can be used on many cars.

Fill the interior with petrol first though.. You won't need to worry about bleeding diesel

+1 roll it to a field, fill with fuel and forget it ever happened

LOL yea thats what I was thinking........... about filling with diesel..... cant go wrong......

I always prime my oil filter when I service the focus

sounds like a plan..............trouble is its my bosses motor lol

All the more reason to do it "give me a pay rise or the motor gets it :D"

lol

as said though, fill with diesel, sit in situ, flood with a syringe and just plug it in. You could use a priming bulb to try and expel the remaining air but most the time flooding it is enough to get it going after a few minutes.

I used to brim the filter housing with as much fuel as possible then crank it till it started. God i missed that car
