I hope someone can help me out there?

Just installed new fuel filter on my uno and she wont start, she was working fine before I changed the filter. Its like no fuel is getting through.


Uno 1.7 diesel
 
New to working on diesels, always worked on petrol engines jags, firebirds, thunderbirds etc....

Ended up taking off new fuel filter and filling to top with diesel, refited and bleed air from botom valve until diesel came out... tryed to crank no luck.

I think i had an air lock on the injectors............. I cracked each one and cranked engine until they leaked diesel and tightened up, and turned the engine over 3 times and she splutered to life.
 
Always trouble with starting after messin about with fuel lines. Always an airlock and always fixed by priming n further messin about
 
One quick question. When should i replace fuel filter, every 10-15k miles?

Looked high and low for a manual for this car the Haynes one, only has petrol engines, i would like to find out service intervals and oil capacity's and filters needed for this engine.:bang::cry:
 
Tbh mate when cars are 10+yrs old and over 80-90k in mileage, its up to the owner to how often you service it. If your nice n not tight with money then do an oil change every 8-10k on a diesel.
