hellpppppppppp with the diesel pump

[fr1198]

My S40 diesel, manual 2007 gives me headache!!!
I've changed the diesel filter and since then I cannot start the car.
I've noticed that after a while there was some air in my pipes.
I've been told that I've run the diesel pump dry and know is broken.

Can be the diesel pump broken? If I replace the pump it will work?
I have to bleed the system first before I put the new one in?

sounds to me you are still drawing air is the filter tight and sealed ??,

yes the filter is fixed in corect position and sealed

once you get air in the system there is no way you will get it going without a hand bleed pump to prime the system . There is no pump in the tank you see .... so you will either have to get a volvo bleed pump tool about £50 or find a general purpose one somewhere . Your main diesel pump is fine :-)

and how i make to prime the system with that volvo bleeding pump /?
i must connect the bleeding pump into the diesel pump and start pumping ?

[Clan]

yes ! it connects to the filter inlet hose and draws fuel up from the tank and pumps it into the filter , you have to undo the bleed tap on top the filter to let air out .
( the inlet hose is the one nearest the wing )

I have a pump like this fitted in my 2001 V40 T4. It is tucked away vertically with retaining clips, up and left from the battery when stood at the front.

I had a squeeze (clearly!) and it was fairly firm, then filled completely and very hard to squeeze. Is this a factory standard fuel primer or something?

I read that you have to squeeze that until it gets hard, then squeeze at least 3 more times and it should be all right.
