Fuel Delivery Rate, Checking, RS5 through MY 2011

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Pressure Tester (VAS 6550) with Hoses (VAS 6550/1) and (VAS 6550/2)

Remote Control (V.A.G 1348/3A) with Remote Control for VAG 1348 (V.A.G 1348/3-3)

Procedure






- Follow all test requirements. Refer to => [ Test Conditions ] Test Conditions.

- Remove the rear bench seat.

- Remove the locking flange cover - arrows -.

- Disconnect the connector - 1 - on the locking flange.






Ignore - 2 -.

- Remove the cover - 1 - on the handle - arrow -.






- Connect the (V.A.G 1348/3A) using the (V.A.G 1348/3-3) and cable from the (V.A.G 1594C) to the terminal - 1 -.






- Tape (V.A.G 1348/3-3) with insulating tape - arrow - to prevent a short circuit.

- Connect connector terminal - 5 - with an adapter cable from (V.A.G 1594C) to chassis Ground (GND).

- Route (V.A.G 1348/3A) toward front in engine compartment.

- Release the retainer - arrow A - and open the cover - arrow B -.






- Connect the alligator clip to the battery jump start terminal (U6) - A - in the terminal 30 wire junction 2 (TV22) in the plenum chamber.






- Open the fuel filler door.






- Remove the fuel filler cap - arrow -.

- Remove the engine cover - arrows -.














There is a risk of injury because the fuel is under high pressure.

To reduce pressure in fuel system, lay a clean cloth around the connector and carefully loosen connector.

- Disconnect the fuel line by first folding the boot - 1 - downward.

- First push the hose coupling - 2 - downward - arrow A -, then press the release buttons - arrow B -.

- Remove the hose coupling with the release buttons pressed.

- Connect the (VAS 6550) and hose (VAS 6550/2) to the fuel supply line.






- Connect the hose (VAS 6550/1) and hold it inside a fuel resistant container.









Risk of fuel leak.

Make sure that the drain - C - is closed.

The level is perpendicular to the direction of flow.

- Open the shut-off valves - A and B -.

The levers point in the direction of flow.

- Generate pressure in the fuel system by pressing the switch on the remote control and slowly closing the shut-off valve on the pressure gauge.

Specified value: 4 bar positive pressure.

- From this point on do not move position of shut-off valve.

- Empty measuring container.

- Press the remote control switch for 15 seconds.






- Compare quantity of fuel delivered with minimum delivery rate in diagram (cm3/15 s).

Voltage at fuel pump with engine stopped and pump running is approximate. 2 volts less than battery voltage.

If minimum delivery quantity is not obtained, the following malfunctions may be present:

The fuel lines are pinched.

The fuel filter is clogged.

The fuel pump is faulty.

Assemble in reverse order of disassembling. Note the following:

- Remove the (VAS 6550) with hoses (VAS 6550/1) and (VAS 6550/2).

- Attach the fuel line so that it clicks into place.

- Press the fuel line on again and pull to make sure the connection is engaged correctly.

- Install the right locking flange cover. Refer to => [ Locking Flange Cover - Tightening Specifications ] Fuel Tank With Attachments Overview.

- Install the rear bench seat.
