    That is something a bunch of folks never do and then the performance of the engine suffers .. Great share Luke !!

    i tell you what, youre a god send. diesel purged it changed filter and could not get her to fire, ran battery down - a couple of easy start blasts and straight back to life. had easy start but never entered my mind to use this top bannana🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Hi I’m pleased the video helped you, I always use easy start after I change fuel filters, it just gives the engine the kick to draw the fuel up, it’s always handy to have some easy start on hand 😂 Thanks for watching 🙂👍

    Thanks Luke. I have never had a diesel. Nice work.

      Hi Bruce, I I’ve heard you don’t get anywhere near the amount of diesel vehicles as we do in the U.K., we have loads and loads over here, actually out of all my vehicles only my Subaru is petrol. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

    You don't need to bend out these little metal brackets, you can just rotate the connection after you undo the screws. In fact some of the aftermarket filters (like Ryco) have cast iron brackets which will break if you try to bend these.
    Also its much easier to fill the filter with diesel before you put it in the car.

      Hi the way I did this was what I found was the easiest way, Cast iron brackets on the filter are you sure🤔 that would imo be a bit overkill. Also it would have been much harder to fill the filter with diesel before. Thanks for your input but the way I did it worked well for me. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

    I always fill the filter with transmission fluid before I put it in it has detergent in it that and pressurizes faster

    good job Luke, nothing worse than having problems with your van when works busy

    For how much they cost, I change mine often and it helps to keep the injectors clean too.

    Hi , thanks for the vid, just wondered if it helped the uphill performance at all?

    • @menditman2004

      Hi it didn’t really make much difference, check under your air box that the vacuum pipes are connected,when I got my van it was terrible up hill than I saw the pipe was off and it improved it massively 🙂👍

    Very good but how are you supposed to do it. I usually gently pinch off any flexible hoses with vice grips and or then block them with drill bits. This stops the fuel running too far back down the pipes. If the filter is full and the pipes were clamped off you shouldn't get too bad an airlock but can still expect a fair bit of cranking. Get the battery charger out if you have a weak battery.

    Hello Mate !
    Just a bit of useful information back at Ya's...! :)
    - spray "easy start" straight into air intake by removing the big rubber pipe that joins onto main 'air in' from the air filter.... then engine will jump into life...! :)
    - This also works as quick fix if you have run out of fuel and pulled air into system cranking engine on empty tank.... so long as not toooo much air in there ....!
    Happy 'Sprintering' ! Zander! :)

    My way to fill the filter back up is just bang a hand pump on the return side to the tank and just pump till it comes out a little, then put back together and it starts all the time every time.
    Just trying to help not stress the starter out too much bud.
    I had to do the same with a Mondeo diesel and S Max diesel

      Hi Your method does work at times, I’ve tried it on some in the past and it doesn’t always work. So nowadays I just fill the filter and use the easy start, I know the starters don’t like it but usually they start pretty quick. But it’s good you’ve put this comment as people may want to try your way thanks 🙂👍

    Hi. The last product you add for start the engine again, how do you apply it? I had the same issue that the engine started for few seconds, then turned off and didn't want to turn on again. I am completely new at diesel world.

    • @menditman2004
      @menditman2004  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi I sprayed a product called easy start in to the air intake, it’s flammable and starts the engine briefly to help draw the diesel up to start the engine, don’t spray to much though just a light spray each time and continue until the engine keeps running. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙂👍

    Looking at this after I realize my vehicle has missing hoses my plastic T piece on the vehicles side of the filter is blanked off both sides for some reason. I bought this sprinter not too long ago. any idea what the two hose pipes that's connected to the T piece is comming from?

    I'm trying to diagnose why my sprinter is not starting. It's been at the mechanics for over a month now. I was driving it on the highway then turned off for a quick break then it wouldn't start. I used engine start spray and it worked . I stupidly keep using it as a way to start it for two weeks then that stopped working altogether. Ps I took out one injector two weeks before and replaced the washer plus cleaned it up. Was working like a dream before this happened 😢😢😢 Thanks for any help in the comments.

      This video was a how to, regard filter brand that’s entirely up to the individual doing the job, whether it’s the cheapest or most expensive the job is the same to fit the filter.

    Not a good idea to crank it that long.

    • @menditman2004
      @menditman2004  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi I had to draw the fuel up as there was so much air in the system, easy start helped in the end. I’ve seen people crank a lot long than this trying to start diesels after a fuel filter change. It was fine but I was probably on the limit to stop and give the starter a rest though, thanks for watching 🙂👍

    Hey Luke you did a nice job changing out the oil filter you made it look easy I have never seen a oil filter set up like that but I haven't worked on many diesels though I'm glad the new filter sorted out the issue thanks for the video. If you would be interested in checking out my TH-cam channel its Backwoods Boy Small Engines any support it very greatly appreciated. See you on the next one take care. 👍

    • @redpig1120

      It’s a fuel filter not oil
