Urgent Help needed - fuel filter

[dynebaruk]

Hi guys, just changed the fuel filter on my car and now it won't start. Tried changing back to the old filter and still won't.

The engine is making the usual sound as if it's going to start.

Help me please :wall:

Mine did this before the fuel cut off switch hasnt been pushed down at all has it ???

[dynebaruk]

Where is the fuel cut off switch?

[Ross170889]

Open the bonnet and theres a big rubber button at the back right hand side of the engine bay i think its red or blue just have a look because mine popped up and wouldnt start but as soon as i pushed it down it was fine again just an idea try it

[dynebaruk]

So should it be pushed down or up to work?

[Ross170889]

down mate just push it down and try starting the engine again

[dynebaruk]

It won't push down for some reason?? I can't pull it up either

did you put the fuel fillter on the right way round?

[Ross170889]

Might have 2 give it some force m8 if it wont go down at all then its already down and must be something else

[dynebaruk]

Think so, the side with the word 'OUT' should be nearest to the front of the car?

Also the red arrow pointing to the front of the car?

[dynebaruk]

C'mon guys, any suggestions?

[Lozza_vtr]

The arrow should point to the rear of the car, as the fuel lines go back on themselves.

You sir are a genius! Thanks!!

thought it would have been the wrong way round, glad you got it going any way mate.
