Diesel primer c30 2.0d

Hi, does anyone know what size diesel primer is needed for the 2.0d c30? I think it's 8 or 10 mm but couldn't find the answer. Thank you

It doesn't need a primer.

I've been told the 2.0d doesn't self prime so when changing the fuel filter it needs a diesel primer

if its the same as a c70 2.0d . it will need fuel pulling through with a hand held primer bulb .it has no in tank pump . any primer will do if it will seal at fuel pipe joint

It's the 136bhp engine which is a Peugeot engine I believe? Theirs different size connectors on the primers though, do you remember which size you used? 8mm/10mm? Thanks

You remove the return then crank the engine until fuel flows then reconnect the return.
Like I said earlier, it doesn't need a primer.

I went to a scrappy and got a hand primer from a Laguna. I cut the filter inlet pipe and added it in line. Works fine. As said, the 2.0d has no fuel pump, it's a pressurised system. When replacing the filter, make sure you fill the housing with fuel, this will help . I've replaced mine several times now and I've left the primer fitted and had no issues.

there is a you tube video from mr fix it shows how to do it with a pump .just less strain on starter and battery

Thanks guys, I've watched the Mr fix video but he didn't say which size he used. I think It might be the 8mm connector. Thanks again
