Kangoo Diesel
My 1.9 diesel Kangoo has developed a problem
It seems to have air in the fuel lines but I've not ran it out of deisel? This causes the engine to run eratically and cuts out on occassion,
usually at the most inconvenient times!!
Does anyone has any idea how to bleed one of these engines????

Sounds more like fuel filter problems. If it needs bleeding it won't run.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You wont get air in the system if you haven't run out of fuel and not disturbed anything, Sounds more like a dirty filter have you had a new one
fitted lately?
Could be drawing air in through a loose pipe,faulty washers on a banjo fitting, seal fault on filter
Just a few ideas Gary

what year kangoo is it? i spend 5 days a week maintaining a fleet of these at work.
pre 2000 models have a very common problem with a little valve on the fuel pump faulting, usual simptoms are a rocking motion when stationary at idle,
an apparent missfire when accelerating which often clears when you get the revs up and at times they just plain cut out!
you'll always see air in the fuel lines, god knows how the run like it i've never seen a oil burner have as much air in the fuel lines as
these do!
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.
