Aaz revs once then cuts out

[conkers]

Recently my aaz which has been really good starter started becoming harder to start -ie longer cranking. It then finally conked out, perhaps firing up for 2seconds or one 'rev' but that was about it. On inspection I found the bulb on the fuel line had perished and was leaking. I replaced it with spare fuel pipe that I had but now the problem hasn't changed. It turns over for ages and you get one 'rev' and then it stops. I am going to change the fuel filter anyway but I also wondered what the process was for bleeding the system or if it's something else?

I would say it will be the same a bleeding any diesel engine, you might need to bleed the injection pump, if the injector pump is primed you should not really need to bleed any further, but you could try cracking the injector pipes and cranking the engine until you see some fuel then re-tighten. There is a post here on a VWdiesel website.

Good Luck, let us know how you get on

I have done it now. There are some bubbles in the pipe but it still runs fine. I assume that's not a problem? Thanks btw
