Hello

I had to disconnect on nissan qashqai J10 1.5 dci 2013 one of the fuel lines to change the glow plug because was in the front and now the car doesn't start I think is because one Fuel line is without fuel, what is the quick way to fix this ?

I saw some bleeding videos on youtube, but I am afraid of trying to play with fuel. Any other ways ? Will the fuel pump, also pump fuel in the fuel lines if there's air in one of the lines?

Appreciate any contributions.

Best Regards

Near your fuel filter there should be a primeing buld for your fuel. Try giving that a squeeze about 10 times and see if that works for you

Thank you Andy, will try that, question is if I disconnect only 1 line of the fuel, is air in the probably, so I don't know if the pump will help, but will try that tomorrow. Thx
