 Vauxhall Astra G Diesel - 02 2.0 Bleed fuel system - diddy1234
Back again

After the recent event of burning the starter motor out (when bleeding the fuel system) I now have a new starter motor fitted.

However the engine will initially start and run for 5 - 10 seconds after priming the fuel system.

After this however the engine will not start.
The fuel system is vacuum fed with no fuel pump as such so bleeding the fuel system is a right pain.

Since I have primed the system and bled the fuel systems several times now with no luck, would I have any luck towing the car and letting the clutch out to force the engine to bleed itself ?

My gut feeling is that I could end up wrecking the injector pump doing this hence I thought id ask first.
