It seems the pump is working. Yesterday evening I tried to start and surprisingly ignition was ok. This morning again - started 4 times with short pauses. Later the car stayed about 1 hour and yesterday's problem occured again. I have "Antipollution failure" message since Friday which looks like different problem but I suspect both problems are connected.

Bizarre :? The "antipollution failure" message means there's something wrong but it's not going to tell you. It might just mean it didn't like all the cranking you were doing.

The car is in the service. For the moment the reason is wrong data from sensor for fuel pressure. 3 hours ago I was afraid that last refuel was with petrol instead of diesel but the mechanic said it is not (decided by smell from open fuel filter). Is there a chance to drive the car with 2:1 diesel:petrol without any strange behavior?
