Mk6 fuel solenoid change

[Leeb6833]

Hi all I’ve look over a few topic but can not seem to find a answer
I have a 04 plate 2.4 rwd transit Iv just changed the fuel solenoid because it’s was knocking quiet bad so I got a new one and popes it in, my van will turn over but not fire, I’ve bled it so there is fuel there , it ran before but now nothing please help..

I can remember which one of the 2 solenoids (timing or metering) needs to be correctly positioned or you’ll have probs?


Failing that, these mk6’s can be fun to bleed up sometimes!

Hi the solenoid can only fit it one place, I have bleed it all through but there is not even any sign of it trying to fire

Okay little update I have bleed it and I got it to fire and run very rough for about 10 seconds then it wouldn’t fire again, it was really slow to fire up when it did go, I have bleed it again but I don’t seem to be getting as much fuel out of the back 3 injector, could this be the reason for it not starting

[Leeb6833]

Done it I managed to get it started with easy start and kept it going with that while I bleed the air out from the top of the injectors, so it starts and runs now,

Well done! Best way to do this is using a priming bulb.
