High Pressure Pump
High Pressure Pump
Fuel system is under high pressure! Before opening the system, perform the procedure for releasing fuel pressure. Refer to => [ Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System ] Service and Repair
For safety reasons, if the battery is not disconnected, fuse - SF 6 - from the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) must be removed before opening fuel system. Otherwise, the fuel pump will be activated by the driver's door contact switch.
• The fuse is located in the fuse holder in the right of the luggage compartment.
• By removing fuse - SF 6 -, the voltage supply to terminal 30 for the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) is interrupted.
• The removal and installation of the high-pressure fuel pump can only be performed on a cold engine.
• When installing the high-pressure fuel pump, make sure that no dirt enters the fuel system.
• Catch escaping fuel with a rag.
• The O-ring must always be replaced.
• The fuel return line banjo fitting must always be replaced.
• High-pressure fuel lines must always be fastened free of tension.
Removing
- Remove engine cover.
- Disconnect electrical connectors from Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) - 1 - and Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) - 2 -.
- Open both fuel lines - 2 and 3 -.
- Remove 3 bolts - arrows -.
- Carefully pull out the high-pressure fuel pump. The sleeve may remain inserted in the cylinder head.
Installing
- Replace O-ring for the high-pressure pump.
- Carefully place high pressure pump with sleeve in opening in cylinder head (check sleeve for damage first).
- Tighten bolts by hand.
- Before installing the fuel lines, check the torque of the connections on the high-pressure pump.
• Fuel return line connections tightening specifications. Refer to => [ High Pressure Pump Assembly Overview ] High Pressure Pump Assembly Overview.

- Always tighten bolts alternating sides with the required torque.
• High Pressure Pump Tightening Specification. Refer to => [ High Pressure Pump Assembly Overview ] High Pressure Pump Assembly Overview.
- Firmly place fuel return line hose (with hose clamp) on connection. Align so it is free of stress.
- Tighten fuel supply line union nut by hand. Align so it is free of stress.
• Fuel supply line (union nut) tightening specifications. Refer to => [ High Pressure Pump Assembly Overview ] High Pressure Pump Assembly Overview
- Connect electrical connectors on Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) and for Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276).
- Re-insert fuse if it was removed.
• Check fuel system for leaks.
