just reading the haynes manual about replacing the fuel filter they say its important not to get air in the system or the system will require bleeding. just seen a website that says that 200tdi and 300tdi are self bleeding, and not to worry about getting air in the system. are they self bleeding?

To an extent - if you fill the new filter with fuel you will have no problems. If you fit it empty, just occasionaly they decide to want bleeding.

There is a bleed screw on top of the filter housing, just open this and manually pump the lift pump to expell the air. All will then be OK.
