    No as I broke down in my street.

    How does bumping it sort the air lock? And would that stop fuel coming from the pump even when I disconnected the lines to the filter?

    Turns the engine over faster and longer so it can suck the fuel through
    A lot of diesel's don't have a lift pump

    Also if I do bump it, do I do anything different that I would with a normal bump start? I'm going to have to bump it while being towed.

    The general consensus appears to be either bump it whilst being towed, or down a very long hill.. lol

    My brothers Golf TDI broke down today also with a BKD engine and i suspect it to be the in take fuel pump as it's silent. You cannot hear it prime or run at all and it wont start. Grabbing a new pump from ECP tomorrow (as it's a Sunday) so hopefully that will fix it. Changed the fuel filter today as it was an easy job but hope i don't have to tow the bloody thing to start it! lol
