    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    Maybe not but these where tiny. The thing is though that ultimately the parts department in ford don't know what they're selling. When a customer mechanic or do it yourself asks if there is a low pressure pump from tank to high pressure tank once he has my reg should be able to advise that there...

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    There's no hand prime pump on the fuel system and the fuel sender on this car doesn't have a pump either, we opened the bottom of it and there's nothing there. The other give away clue is the fact that the wires that come from it aren't substantial enough to run any pump. Someone at Ford who...

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    Found a used low mileage pump that matched codes etc for £252 inc vat and delivery. I had the injectors changed at the bag of last year and Ford said they found metal in the fuel filter and warned us the pump may be on its way out but I do 50k a year so it's lasted a while. When we changed it in...

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    Thanks found out today once I talked to someone in ford who actually knew what they were talking about, the guy on front desk insisted that the fuel sender had a pump inside and even though we took it apart at home and found it was empty he still wouldn't have it. Seems there is only the one...

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    Don't think there are any leaks, it had the clutch changed on Saturday by the same garage that's dealing with fuel problem and he didn't mention anything and being diesel it wouldn't have evaporated. Will get it pressure checked again though.

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    Thanks, the garage couldn't find the pump he only found three wires coming from tank none of them large enough to be 12 volt. Would it be visible when you move the rear seat or is it located under tank. I'm a bit confused why when I asked ford for the lift pump/low pressure pump they gave me a...

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    Thanks I'll check with the garage and let you know but that doesn't explain why it would cut out fri on a lessson and then on sat when we finally got it started and had it running for 5 mins. I think I need to get the lift pump if we can find it flow tested.

    ford focus 06 tdci won't start unless full of fuel

    I have a focus tdci 1.8 06 plate done about 178000 miles. 3 jan it felt a bit sluggish coming onto dual carriageway so went home and changed fuel filter. Yes we had the same problem that everyone seems to experience with it being a pig to start afterwards. Towed it to local garage and even he...
