Slight cough

Hi
A couple of times of late, when starting, the engine gives a slight cough, and today it coughed very slightly on a run....Would this be a problem with the little filter in the fuel pump banjo?....the fuel filter shouldn't need doing, as I replaced it around 20-30 thousand Km ago, but haven't done the mini filter screen.
Cheers
Helen

It'd definitely be worth checking the little "banjo" filter for starters, they can be fiddly to extract,try using a 9mm drill bit (loose of course,not attached to the drill!
)VERY CAREFULLY to extract the tiny filter...

I used a cotton bud to remove mine, gentle and safe.

When I took the Banjo off the pump on my Bongo I couldn't find a filter, there was a spring that I got out. Question, should the filter be above the spring or beneath it? I couldn't see a filter even using a torch. Cheers Tom

Beneath the spring - it's like a small gauze thimble at the bottom of the hole.

It's a tiny little thing,that's virually invisible if it still has a drop of diesel hanging from it, masking the gauze....
