Hi there
I have A major problem with airbubbles comming out of the fuel filter clear line going into the fuel pump.Iv changed my fuel filter and traced all fuel lines as far as possible no problems found as such. If anybody else as had this problem and as a fix please can you help with any advice.

My car is a Vw Golf 19 tdi 2000 plate.
Many thanks
Lee

ok for 1, How did you get air in the fuel lines? 2, let your car run for a couple secs with the gas cap open, this SHOULD purge any air.

umm if it's not the throttle body, or dirty injectors, than I'm sorry I dunno what it could, would have to research more.
