Priming Fuel Filter - 1.5 dci

[billyonemate]

I am changing the fuel filter on a 2018 1.5 dci Kadjar, all the youtube videos are for older models Qashqais with this engine and they all show a inline priming pump, mine doesn't have that, does anyone know if its self priming? or is there a another way to prime it?

Fit 9ne yourself, peugeot type just before the filter

Im certain your model has a Electric Fuel Pump, which will "self bleed", will help to once new filter in...pour some diesel in the filter, once your cranking the engine the Fuel pump will activate....and start engine..

If it is indeed a low pressure fuel pump, cycle the ignition half a dozen time, so the electric pump runs for its full duration. You'll hear it run from the drivers seat.
If it doesn't have an electric pump, don't attempt to start the car, and apply vacuum to the outflow of the fuel filter. Once you have fuel there, reconnect a bit sharpish, and crank - should start and run reasonably easily. If you do have the vacuum pump version, once you have it running, leave it idling for at least 2 minutes before switching off.

Thanks for the input everyone, i think it will be the Electric Fuel Pump version, but will double check
