Thanks heaps for the video!. I have replaced the low pressure pump about 6 months ago and it drove fine since , however yesterday I replaced the fuel filter and primed it and got it running. but ever since it now takes several attempts of cranking to start . sometimes once or twice and other times 4 or 5 times, even if I turn it off and then back on again! its doing my head in! would you have any suggestions pretty please?
Can you hear the low pressure fuel pump operating when you turn the key on? Have you carried out all the tests shown in the video? Is there any air in the lines?
About to do this job myself on my partners car. Going to check out for that low pressure pump now! Fingers crossed it all goes well after your super helpful video.
@@MiracleMAX Thank you for this brilliant demonstration. NOTE: after conducting all the precautionary tests, correctly fitting the new filter and priming the system. My Territory stalled after a few seconds, and failed to start after dozens of attempts. Adamant that I succumb to the fuel pump issue's mentioned, I decided to remove the hi-pressure fuel line (middle-green) and prime the system, purging diesel through the filter nipple. After refitting the fuel line, it managed to start on the very next attempt. THIS MAY SAVE $$$ REPLACING A FUEL PUMP
This system uses an expansion tank and not an overflow bottle. There is no cap on the radiator. Therefore the cap that you see on the expansion tank is how you fill the cooling system. If you look on the side of the expansion tank you should see a cold and hot level to fill to.
I had the same question, you don't need to, all of the pressure in a diesel is after the high pressure pump in the engine, and it's only when it's running
Hi mate, after changing fuel filter… error coming when i start my ford territory….. “fuel system fault”. Please advice how to fix this issue. Thank you.
Hey Muhammad Saad , What is the fault code related to the description? Did you test the fuel pump like shown in the video before the filter was replaced? Is the engine starting & running OK? Did you reconnect the water level sensor on the bottom of the filter? MiracleMAX
@@MiracleMAX hi Mate, 1st really appreciate for your reply. I don’t know the fault code number because i don’t have scanner. 2nd i also installed fuel pump also. Than change fuel filter. Car start & runner perfectly but error coming on dash screen “fuel system fault”. How to remove this fault? Please advice
@@muhammadsaad6953 You will firstly need to figure out why the error has come up. As I said, did you reconnect the water level sensor? Have you rechecked all your connections on the fuel pump. Some vehicles need to clear a fault code before all systems start working again - for example the fuel gauge. You may need a scan tool to see what the error is indicating. th-cam.com/video/vrK2rruUknE/w-d-xo.html
@@MiracleMAX yes water level sensor attached. Tomorrow morning wil buy scanner. Kindly recommend good scanner which is easy to use for biggnera. Thanks
@@muhammadsaad6953 Difficult to say what scanner to buy. You could try something like a Launch Creader or something similar. It all depends on how much money you are willing to spend and what you want the scan tool to do. There are a lot of reasonable scan tools out there that will do basic fault code readings, with capabilities to clear codes and supply live data as well. Perhaps go online and read some reviews. Try 'basic automotive scan tool australia' (if you are in Australia) in the search engine and then hit the 'shopping' tab. Make sure that the software is designed for your vehicle. They should provide a list of vehicles. Let us know how you go! 😊
Could it be a damaged o-ring on one of the connectors or a damaged plastic pipe? Can you find exactly where it is leaking from? Can you wipe it clean & then get someone to turn on the ignition to prime the pump?
Hey Magyar Bluey, There is no need for a special tool - you can just remove the lines as shown in the video. Simply press the coloured 'button' and the locking mechanism will release. Then just pull up on the line and it will disconnect from the filter.
From what I understand, the petrol version are just a flare nut that you undo with spanners. Most likely a Z373 in the Ryco brand. Make sure you check with the parts supplier for the correct application.
@@chrisriley4982 There definitely should be a glow plug light as shown in the video. th-cam.com/video/pqUcqG6ZM4M/w-d-xo.html Do you have an owners manual? Usually they will show you locations of the various lights on the dash. Do you own a scan tool? Have you noted any fault codes?
I just went and had another look and there is a glow plug light. I’ve obviously just turned the key and cranked the engine too quick to notice. Luckily I live in a warm climate where I’ve not had to worry I guess coz yeah, never had dramas starting it
Perhaps next video I'll make it a 'scratch & sniff' where you touch the screen & you smell petrol (disclaimer - DO NOT SNIFF PETROL) or maybe when you touch the screen you end up with greasy hands that smell like diesel! Perhaps I'll create an app! The sky is the limit......or perhaps I'm just getting carried away :)
Just replaced the injector / hp fuel pump on one of these now that's a full on job. Mirrors and a good light are the key 🤞 hope it works
BIG job.
Being a contortionist wouldn't hurt 🤕🤔
Excellent Thankyou. Heard too much about the Low pressure pump causing all sorts of problems.
Certainly something to keep an eye on.
Excellent advice -- thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi MM, good info. More than just a filter change video.
Thanks Nigel. These do have problems with the low pressure pump, so I just wanted to include that in the filter change preparation.

Brilliant mate well explained

@@naz-uf8mt Well done Naz! I'm glad you were able to figure out the fault! 😉👍
Hi mate. I have a ford territory sz diesel and was wondering where the radiator filler is. I can't locate it. Only the resovoir.
This system uses an expansion tank and not an overflow bottle. There is no cap on the radiator.
Therefore the cap that you see on the expansion tank is how you fill the cooling system. If you look on the side of the expansion tank you should see a cold and hot level to fill to.
Hi , did you have to take out the fuel filter pump fuse and depressurise the fuel line before removing the fuel connectors' on top ? Martin
Hey Martin, I didn't find it necessary
I had the same question, you don't need to, all of the pressure in a diesel is after the high pressure pump in the engine, and it's only when it's running

Hi, mate are you a mechanic or do you have work shop I need to do my territory services done with you and which city is you workshop located?
Thanks.
I am in NSW with my own workshop. You can contact me via email at miraclemax3@hotmail.com if you would like more details.
@@MiracleMAX thanks for your reply . I live in Melbourne.
@@ahmeduddinsyed4092 Sorry, I'm 2 hours from Sydney. Probably a bit far to drive for a service! 😉
Mine is leaking up top what would that be .Havnt removed it yet

Is there a tool to remove a Ford Territory fuel line that connect to the fuel filter?

thanks ate very handy to know sub you mate

Weird, don’t think my Territory has glow plugs 🤷♂️ definitely don’t have a light and have never had trouble starting it

Is yours diesel?
