Hi the biggest problem with these lift pumps in the tank is the small
filter on the bottom of the pump, all it needs is a bad tank of fuel and
then the filter clogs up and the pump can't deliver enough fuel and
eventualy it packs in, i'm speaking from experience here, i fitted a new
pump in my 406 , it lasted 4 days and packed up completely, All because
of sh.t in the fuel ,it is possible to remove the casing and clean the
stupid small filter out, typical pegueot bad design, and the pumps don't
come cheap either ! , I had lotsa trouble since I bought my 406, they
just not reliable like the old 405 was ............

Hi
It seems strange to me that it runs for about 5 seconds then cuts out(i
could be wrong!!).but it doesn't sound like a h/p pump prob .The h/p
pump needs to pump min 120 bar before the injectors will fire (lift off
there seat).normal running pressure on that engine is 298 bar.The low
pressure one in the tank should be about 2.5 bar output and 0.7 bar
return .If you can get to the diesel pressure sensor on the rail
(black 3 way sensor red plug) to the left of the clip should be the
signal wire at cranking you should get about 1.0 volt that then means
that the h/p pump is creating enough pressure (To check it whilst
cranking just disconnect the camshaft phase sensor )
can your eobd reader show parameters?
