Keep cycling the ign on and off without cranking these have a prime pump in the tank it will self purge wink but now you have cranked before carrying this routine out I feel you have introduced air into the system post high pressure pump frown give it another try

You may well also have stored fault codes too now even if the MIL as gone out scratchchin this particlaur engine has an 02 sensor and 3 EGT sensors IIRC and if any of them are reading anything abnormal it will throw DTC's (fault codes) try not do it (petrol fill) again otherwise you may damage the DPF permanently frown
Please help changed fuel filter and now wont start gna go to garage

Why did you change the fuel filter? thought you said earlier you were going to run it and see how it goes first!

Probably put an air lock in the system now

Almost certainly it now won't start because the filter has been changed & the lines not bled.

Google fuel line bleeding for your car or look on youtube you will very quickly find out exactly what you need to do to fix it.

What do i do then lol??
Either get the car checked out to be on the safe side, or just go ahead and drive it and hope you are not doing thousands of pounds worth of damage to the injection system.

You've never changed a diesel filter before I take it ? It'll take a while cranking over. You may need jump leads

I'm sure she would love to, but it's going to be difficult if it doesn't start...
