Great video, the best I could find. Fluence 1.5dci I've a fluence, there's loads of them in Ireland. Theres a plate with 2 bolts covering the fuel input to the engine which I'd recommended removing as its hard to click off the input otherwise
Thanks so much for this video, i've followed it step by step and got everything setup. I had my priming bulb replaced as my factory part had a slit in it and it was letting in air into the fuel lines. I used a cheap (Ebay) replacement bulb to bypass the issue. I think it's come round to bit me in the ass as im trying to bleed it like you did and nothing is happening the "bulb" just compresses and refills with air quickly rather than slowly as if it was pulling up diesel through the 1 way valve. I have contacted my local renault dealer to see if they have any in stock . Fingers crossed this solves my issue. Once again thanks for the informative video
I'm planning on giving my megane a full service in the new year, never attempted a fuel filter before but you've made it look simple enough. How often would you advice you change a fuel filter?
The engine compartment looks quite different from my 2012 Fluence 1.5 dci. Is that bleeding procedure the same? The changing of the filter itself sure is the same for both Megane 3 & fluence. By the way, your vid is the clearest of all those on this topic. Also good tip lubricating those o-rings, thanks!
OK never payed attention so didn't notice that hand pump yet it's simply there :) is it straightforward to disconnect that tube from the fuel pump? I don't see a clip or something...
Hi. Very nice video. My question is: Do you need to disconnect battery before diconecting the sensor on the filter? Will it bring the error on the dashboard clusters or not?.
Hi, my megane 3 has problems starting after being let outside for the night. I found some air bubbles in the fuel lines, after the yellow part on the top of the primer bulb. I don’t see any cracks or visible damage, but when I pump it, it makes like a rattling noise (I don’t know if this is normal), as if there was air passing through (indeed). What do you think, any leak? (at a first glance, I can’t see any). Fuel filter? Or the primer bulb itself? PS: after it stars, it idles and drives normally and with no errors on the dashboard, but I can see the mpg got significantly worse, especially when idling
Hello, well the rattling in the fuel primer would be the one way valve, but the primers are quite common for drawing in air on these cars, the problem with this fault is if you had a crack in the primer or or a line you would have a visible leak, more often or not if it is drawing in air over night it is normally a seal where a pipe connects or the seals ether end of the hand primer, but it is very hard to pinpoint. Thank you for watching
Hello I wanted to ask you for advice .. In disassembling I broke the connection of the white tube that goes to the filter .. How can I fix it? I used to change the tube but I don't know the code
Hi. My megan has issues after being left for a day. It starts after the 3rd attempt then starts fine until left again. Is this likely the issue? Battery is fine. Thanks
I dont know if the filter could cause your fault as it sounds like you car is drawing in air when left for a period of time, the hand pump in the line in common for this to would suggest that first other than that check all the pipe connections, i hope this helps.
Marty I've got a 1.5dci Renault Clio 3 ran out of diesel I think it may have an air lock it's not pulling up diesel from the filter and won't prime with the hand primer quarter of a tank of diesel put back in and still won't pull the diesel up. What's the best solution?
Quite often the primer valve can go faulty so what you need to do is put you disconnect the pipe somewhere after the primer, squeeze the primer then put your finger over the end of the pipe and block it tight then release the primer then remove your finger , just repeat till fuel comes up to where you have disconnected then reconnect an continue to pump primer, if this doesn't work then you need to buy a universal hand premier and connect it to the end of the pipe to draw fuel up, i hope this helps.
myself who had a faulty primer hand pump. Grab a small plastic bag and wrap it round the end of the fuel pipe when you squeeze let the bag loos then tighten around end when releasing. It creates a valve and will pull fuel through. Didn't need to dissemble anything
My car getting the bubbles in the pipe line i.e after the fuel filter that goes to the engine can you suggest me What’s the problem and what i need to change??
Great video, the best I could find.
Fluence 1.5dci
I've a fluence, there's loads of them in Ireland. Theres a plate with 2 bolts covering the fuel input to the engine which I'd recommended removing as its hard to click off the input otherwise
Thank you for your input
amazing video! thank you for this you are the man!

I'm glad it helps an yeah the valves are common in them primers so it sounds like you have it cracked, thank you for watching.
@@Martysworkshop Thanks for the quick reply. I will have a look a getting it replaced :)

They say every other service by the book but i like to do it every service, hope tgis helps

I'm not sure sorry does it have a hand pump somewhere, if so then shuld be the same. Thank you for your feedback.
@@Martysworkshop never seen that hand pump, will check it out all the same :)
OK never payed attention so didn't notice that hand pump yet it's simply there :) is it straightforward to disconnect that tube from the fuel pump? I don't see a clip or something...
It shuld be a quick release, usually red, green or while and you predict that bit and it shuld release.

No it is just change it with the ignition off, thank you for watching and i hope this helps
@@Martysworkshop Yes it Helped. Thank You :-))

@@Martysworkshop I am having the same issue, how much air is "ok"? Thanks for a good video.
None really, you always get a little trapped in places but any air in the fuel system can cause issues.
Hello I wanted to ask you for advice ..

I used to change the tube but I don't know the code
These pipes are usually genuine only parts, i don't know of anywhere you can buy the ends sorry.
Hy thanks nice vedio thumb up 👍
Thank you for your feedback.
My 1.6 dci megane hasn’t got a priming bulb,any ideas how I would prime the system after changing the filter, thanks
You can buy a universal hand pump but it can be difficult to conect to the pipe
@@Martysworkshop do do you think my 2016 megane might be self priming , that’s why there’s no priming bulb?
When you turn the ignition on can you her a buzz comeing from the fuel tank, if so it has a electrical primer

@@Martysworkshop mine doesn't seem to have that black primer thing?
Thats strange, is the pip clear plastic towards the engine?
@@Martysworkshop soz mine isn't a deisel which is prob why?
Aww i see yours won't have this type of filter then sorry, does your fuel pump work?

I have a same problem had a service and today then won’t start :( I would like to visit your garage mate
I do this as a hobby sorry, i work full time for a large company that doesn't do outside work ether. So does the hand primer work?
My car getting the bubbles in the pipe line i.e after the fuel filter that goes to the engine can you suggest me What’s the problem and what i need to change??
Is it after the hand primer? I know they can be a common fault.
@@Martysworkshop yes its after the hand primer
@@Martysworkshop so no need to change anything right??
Is it hard to start in the mornings?
@@Martysworkshop no mate it’s good to start in the mornings.
