    Default Signum 3.0 cdti wont start

    Long story short, the car was running perfect , went for a meal came out to go home and the car will not start.
    Loads of life in the battery, my brother who used to be a mec put some easy start in the air intake and it started to run but then stopped.
    Looked in the fuel filter , its empty.
    The car has loads of fuel in it.
    Any ideas guys ?? fuel pump ?
    Thanks for any help.

    Tank pump, or fuse for tank pump. If you get in a quiet area, and turn on the ignition, you should hear the pump pressurising the system. This is when it would fill up the filter. If you're really brave, you can take off one of the pipes going on to it to see if anything reaching the filter at all...

    Other possibilities if the pump IS running include a blockage in the tank, or depending on which way the fuel goes into the filter the filter itself may be blocked...

    There should be fuel in the fuel filter, so that suggests the issue lies between the input fuel lines and fuel tank
    However the fuel pump may not be drawing fuel either

    Reprime the fuel system and see what happens

    The 3.0 v6 CDTI doesn't have a fuel pump in the fuel tank
    Instead there are two fuel pumps on the engine

    tank pump all cdti engines do, not as powerfull as a petrol but they do have them. i wouldn't be suprised if the relay was sticking (cheapest to start with) or pump its self was failing. peugeots used to have the same problem too 100k miles the car would die cause of the tank pump.
