Hi,
not conversant with that car, but the chances are you need a fault code to work on.
Otherwise, is the fuel filter clear and the tank can breathe.

Hi Mark,
take a look on 'megane sport' forum, it looks like the filter is part of the pump.
You may need to get the pump tested also.
Good luck
Bob.

Hi Bob

If the pump is not at fault what could also be a suspect

Injector?

lf it was an injector or anything electrical you will get a fault code.
You need a diagnostic tool if you want to work on it yourself.
lf there are no fault codes then fuel would be the suspect.

With a fuelling problem there will be abnormal trim values on OBD...

You may also look at the boost pressure live readings, also on OBD.

One more option is the dephaser stuck in the retarded position. If the case, then it may rattle on startup or may be just stuck.
