air in system bleed nipple remedy
After getting air in the system I had to call out breakdown.
Fearing it would be a pump out air job I was amazed that it was a simple job of hand undo bleed nipple, a couple of cranks and hey presto. Just thought I'd post as I've not seen this mentioned before on here

I've mentioned it a few times.
No tools required.

Cool. However I've just read your Sig and see you have a 2.0D so this probably won't apply to my D2 1.6D.....

In that case I haven't mentioned that.
The no tools required method I was referring to was bleeding out the air by removing the fuel return line, crank the engine until fuel flows out then clip the return hose back on.

Can't say, if you have one or not on that model. Easy to spot if you have.

I assumed you were getting your terminology mixed up seeing as Volvo technicians don't use that method.
