Hello,i am having trouble with my 2.2DTI estate,it was going fine then it just refused to go on the key,i got a friend to give me a tow to start it and we got it going but was running very rough,i have just changed the fuel filter today and it was dirty,i filled the bowl with diesel and put the new filter in,it started nearly straight away,ran for a few seconds then stoped,no way would it go.so we gave it a tow and it started up but was running very bad,if i let the revs go less than 1,500rpm it just stop and wont go unless its towed again.we towed it home and i took the top of the fuel filter of to have a look again and the bowl was empty of diesel,so i must have a air leak some wherei am going to change the rubber orings in the cap tomorrow because the pipe that goes to the IN on the cap feels very slack,maybe the leak is there?or does anyone know why?thanks.

went to the vauxhall dealer today and they dont sell the seals for the cap :o,so i had to order a complete new fuel filter cap :( ,i hope it fixes it. :-\

...i took the top of the fuel filter of to have a look again and the bowl was empty of diesel...
TBH that sounds more like your fuel pump, are you sure there is fuel getting to the filter housing?

go to try and do a test tomorrow,i am going to fill a bottle with diesel and gravity feed it to the in pipe,it it starts then it will mean the fuel pump is working
