Fuel Supply System






Clean Working Conditions

Even a little contamination can lead to faults. When working on the fuel supply and fuel injection system, observe the following guidelines for a clean working environment:

Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.

Seal the open lines and connections immediately with clean plugs, for example, from the Engine Bung Set (VAS 6122).

Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths.

Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.

Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored outside of their original packaging (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).

When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.
