High Pressure Pump
High Pressure Pump
The fuel system is under pressure! Before opening the high side pressure components of the fuel injection system, the pressure must be reduced to a residual pressure.
• Reducing the high side pressure. Refer to => [ High Side Pressure, Reducing ] High Side Pressure, Reducing.
• The high pressure pump can only be removed and installed when the engine is cold.
• When installing the high pressure pump, make sure that no dirt enters the fuel system.
• Catch escaping fuel with a cloth.
• Always replace the O-ring and the connection.
• Always install the high pressure fuel lines so that they are free of tension.
Removing
- Remove the engine cover. Refer to => [ Engine Cover ] Engine Cover.
- Disconnect the electrical connector - 2 - from the fuel pressure regulator valve (N276).
- Open both fuel lines - arrows -.
- Remove the 2 bolts - arrows -.
- Carefully pull the high pressure fuel pump out. The roller tappet may stay in the cylinder head.
Installing
• To insert the high pressure pump, the roller tappet must be at its lowest point.
• If the same or a used high pressure pump is installed, replace the fuel supply line connections (high pressure side) - item 11 - in => [ High Pressure Pump with Overview ] High Pressure Pump with Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) Overview.
• Tightening specifications, refer to => [ High Pressure Pump with Overview ] High Pressure Pump with Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) Overview.
- Replace the O-ring for the high pressure pump.
- Insert the roller tappet in the vacuum pump after checking the tappet for damage.
- Rotate the crankshaft until the roller tappet is at the lowest point.
- Install the high pressure pump into the vacuum pump.
- Tighten the bolts by hand.
- Replace the connections on the high pressure pump.
- Tighten the bolts crosswise with the required torque.
- Tighten the fuel supply line union nut by hand, align it so there is no tension and then tighten it.
- Connect the electrical connector - 2 - to the fuel pressure regulator valve.
- If the fuse was pulled, insert it again.
• Check the fuel system for leaks.
