The idiot I am, I ran out of diesel in my 1999 306 HDi. Having been rescued by a Green Flag man he assued me that the engine bleeds itself. However, having got back in the car, the diagnostic light is now remaining on. Is this likely to go off again or do I need to visit a garage? If so, what is the likely problem and solution?
Thanks :?
So you should keep your EYES on the FUEL GAUGE.
The diagnostic light means that there is a message waiting to be read and cleared. It is probably to tell you that you about low fuel pressure due to running out of fuel.
After a number (about 20-30) successful starts without the problem, the fault should be deleted from the error memory in the ECU. Or at least this is what happens in my pug.
