mk5 sucking in air in diesel

Postby roundstone » Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:54 pm

Hi
fiited a banana engine 2 weeks ago sounds great starts first time, only problem is you drive along 50 soon as you slow down engine drops to 3 cylinders. so you have to jump out and crack of injector pipes to get air out. Any one no how to find air leak????? as there is no signs of fuel dripping. on the engine the fuel filter housing is push fit pipe on my old one was nut type.

Thanks

Turned out to be the diesel filter coming loose. We still have to tighten it up every other day.
