*was*on here not so*long ago with a possible failed fuel pump. It was the module that had gone so i have now had that repaired and refitted it the codes the ecu was throwing have now gone.

When fault finding before being sure it was the edc at fault i undone the fuel lines to the injectors,Even took the rocker cover off (as i had a needle lift sensor) meaning i took the return/overflow lines off too.

Even now the fuel still gets to the injectors, ive topped the filter up, leaving the bleed nipple open. I have even tried cracking the injectors one at a time to let the air out whilst turning the engine over and still no luck. Its an auto so i can't bump start. My next step is going to be repeat*the process + some easy start.

When i loosen the the injectors should i be doing them one at a time. Or just crack them half/all off a turn or so (not tried that yet)

Or if there are any other tips*you guys know then please let me know

What engine?
You probably need to have the filter bleed screw closed when cranking.
May help to suck the fuel up to the filter with a vacuum to assist initial starting

Well i tried it both ways anyway.

Its a 2.5 tdi v6 ake

I have seen like a syringe style thing to help get the air out. Unsure as to where i would use it on my fuel system. Only place i can see is the bleed nipple on the filter
