- Switch OFF ignition and replace leaking fuel injector.


NOTE: Always replace seals.


Fuel injection quantity, checking
- Insert injector to be checked in a measuring glass for VAG 1602 Fuel analyzer.







- Connect one terminal of injector to be tested to engine Ground using jumper wires from VW 1594 Adaptor kit.
