Hello,
I have an E220 S210 Estate auto diesel. Recently the low pressure fuel pump stopped working. So now when I want to start the car I have to open the bonnet, and spray easy start or cold start into the air intake and crank the motor for about 15 seconds before it will pick up and run. Once running it runs as though nothing was wrong, but I know the low pressure fuel pump has packed up because I used to be able to hear it pumping as toon as I turned the key and before I started cranking the engine. Now that initial sound is gone.
I looked on Youtube to see how to change the pump, and there are several videos of how to get to the pump and the large canister type fuel filter that sits next to it. These are located under a plastic cover just in front of the rear axle on the near side.
So I dutifully jacked up the car and removed the plastic cover to find only a small radiator that seems to be used to cool diesel that returns to the tank from the injector line. It seems that the videos only apply to saloon cars, and estate cars have the pump mounted elsewhere.
That being the case, I now need to find out where the low pressure pump is located on my estate car, in order that I can remove and replace it.
Anyone know where I can find it? If so, do you have any diagrams or photos of where I can find it and how to get to it?
Many thanks,
