Hi, thanks for your comment.

I was told there is fuel all the way to the pump, and 0 PSI at the rail, and that the pressure regulator appears to be functioning as it should from electrical testing. I was also advised the oil level was slightly high which could have been fuel entering the oil, but he couldn't 'smell' diesel in the oil.

From the code on the filter that was removed, all the cars have an in tank electric pump, which I do not have.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

The pump is directly on the timing chain which apparently is turning fine and fully intact. Apparently the rail has fuel in but never pressurises, and as it doesn't pressurise it doesn't start the injectors. This was confirmed by loosening a pipe to the fuel rail and cranking the engine, which resulted in no fuel coming out of the loosened pipe apparently. I'm not sure how one would check if the pump is actually turning or not, but if you know of something I can check myself I would definitely do so.

Thanks again for your comment.

I think it was one of the injector pipes they loosened but I may be wrong

I'm just going by what I was told, but there was no fuel coming out from the other side of the pump.

Appreciate your input.

Current state is that there is 0psi to the rail, even when the pressure regulator is disconnected which I am lead to believe should allow full pressure through to the fuel rail.

If you have any suggestions for other checks I would be very grateful.

Are you sure you don't have an air leak between the fuel tank and the HP pump? Could the fuel filter be seated incorrectly or a seal not properly fitted?
