When I changed the main fuel filter on my 92 300D, I filled it as best I could, then crammed it into place and reattached everything. The maintenance manual said the system is self-priming.
Then, when I went to start it, it died after about 3 seconds, then damn near drained the battery because I had to crank it for about a minute. Even had to jump start it with my other car. It finally started and hasn't been a problem since. Is this duration of cranking after a filter change normal? -- Sunil Hari 1992 300D 2.5T - 286Kmi. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 513-205-7474
