No diesel, no start

Postby cplif » Sat Nov 16, 2024 11:10 am

Hello all,
My 1995 MK5 Diesel FWD Transit, it suddenly refuses to start. I'm getting no flow at the filter cap (no primer pump on this one). I've been leaking a bit of fuel for a while, and sort of starting on 3 cylinders when cold. This time, no start one morning.
I can't locate the solenoid/ pump, it doesn't seem to appear in the RTA manual, the truck is in the street. This could be a timing belt problem, but it was running fine when I parked it. I will try to check this afternoon.
Thanks for any help or schematics.

No such animal as a Mk5 FWD... methinks the same as Andz...

Require picture of engine and where your fuel leak is
