Fuel Pump (FP), Electrical Testing

Recommended Special Tools And Equipment

- 3217 ring nut spanner
- VAG1348/3A remote control with VAG1348/3-2 adapter cable
- VAG1526A multimeter
- VAG1594A connector test kit

Test requirements:
- Battery voltage at least 12.7 V
- Fuse S228 OK (position 28)
- Fuel Pump (FP) Relay OK. With Generic Scan Tool
- Fuel filter OK
- Ignition switched off.

Test sequence
- Open cover of fuse box at left side of instrument cluster.
- Remove fuse S228 at fuse carrier (position 28) (left row, 5th large fuse from top).

- Connect e.g. V.A.G 1348/3A remote control connection using adapter cables from VAG1348/3-2 at right terminal of socket from fuse S228 (arrow).
- Connect alligator clip to vehicle battery B+.
- Press switch of remote control.
- Operating noise of the pump must be audible in vicinity of fuel tank.

NOTE: Fuel Pump (FP) runs quietly. Surrounding noise should be avoided during test of the Fuel Pump (FP).

If no flowing noise can be heard:
- Unscrew cover for connector flange below the luggage compartment carpet.

- Carefully disengage and disconnect electrical 4-pin harness connector (arrow).

- Connect multimeter between terminal 1 and 4 of harness connector for voltage measurement.
- Press switch of remote control.
- Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If specified value is obtained, although no operating noise can be heard from pump:

CAUTION: Fuel system is under pressure. Before opening system, place rags around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully loosening connection.

- Mark fuel supply line -2- and fuel return line -1- and disconnect from connector flange.

- Use ring nut spanner 3217 to remove union nut.
- Pull connector flange and sealing ring from opening of fuel tank.

- Check whether electrical wires between flange and Fuel Pump (FP) are connected, and test for continuity if necessary.

If no malfunctions are found in wires:
- Fuel Pump (FP) faulty, replace fuel pump.
- Installing connector flange.
