Do you have to bleed a ford fiesta diesel turbo after changing the fuel filter its a y reg. thanks jeff?
You don't have to, but it will make the engine start a lot faster the first time you run it after changing the filter.

The answer is NO you dont!!!! They are self bleeding.
BUT on saying that depending on age some have a pump fitted to the top of the diesel filter housing, you can't miss it as it is black round plunger, but these also give problems, what I have had in the past is you change the filter and when you try to prime it, it then leaks diesel allowing air to enter the system and they dont start very well.
Not telling you how to suck eggs make sure all the seals on the filter are good as an air leak will really affect it
I hope that helps
Yes vane pump in the injection pump wont lift air,easy way is undo main fuel feed pipe to the injection pump banjo union and use primer on top of filter head to pump fuel through till all the air is purged,tighten banjo union give a few more pumps on primer and the motor will fire.Ford primers are prone to splitting and if that's the case either blow compressed air into the tank to push the fuel through,buy a new primer(expensive) or get your gob round the pipe and suck it through.not a nice taste but at least your car will start
Helps if you fill the filter with fuel before you refit. System should self bleed but it may also help if you loosen one of the injector pipes to allow the air to clear more quickly.
it does help, yes, but if you wind it over and over it should self bleed.
Yes you will.
