avensis d4d 2003
I was advised that air was getting into the fuel line creating a vacum hence in the morning the car started then just stopped after 5 secs with the engine management light coming on.
I got the fuel filter replaced the guy said the threads were bad and if it happened again i would need a new sender unit????
Three weeks of no problems and now the problem has returned.
does this sound right?????
When I pump the fuel through a small drip leaks from the bottom of the filter unit.
Now every morning I have to open the bonnet to pump fuel through to get it started and there is still a drip when the pressure builds up.
Some mornings it fine but in general if the car is not used for more the 6-7 hours I have to do this.
once it starts everything is fine and have no other problems!
does a new sender unit sound right and how much is this job to carry out roughly.
