|
|
| – |
Connect fuel line from fuel tank to shut-off tap
-B- of pressure tester -VAS 6550-
by means of hose -VAS 6550/2-. |
| – |
Connect fuel line leading to engine
-1- to shut-off tap -A- of
pressure tester -VAS 6550- by means of hose -VAS 6550/1-. |
| – |
Connect vehicle diagnostic tester. |
| – |
Select final control diagnosis for fuel pump in vehicle
self-diagnosis program. |
 Note
| The fuel pump is now actuated to build up fuel pressure. |
| If the final control diagnosis is to be carried out several
times in succession, it may be necessary to start the engine
briefly before repeating the final control diagnosis. |
| – |
Read off fuel pressure on pressure gauge. |
| Specification: ≥ 4.0 bar. |
| – |
End self-diagnosis and switch off ignition. |
| – |
Observe pressure drop on pressure gauge. After 10 minutes,
the pressure must not drop by more than 1.0 bar. |
| – |
Check all fuel lines for leaks and damage. |
|
|
|
| – |
Ensure that drain tap -C- on
pressure tester-1- is closed. |
| – |
Shut-off valves -A- and
-B- on pressure tester-1-
are open. |
| – |
Actuate fuel pump with final control diagnosis to build up
fuel pressure. |
| – |
After pressure has built up, close shut-off valve
-A- of pressure tester immediately.
Lever is then at right angle to direction of flow. |
| If the pressure now drops (leak on fuel tank side): |
| Proceed as follows to check residual pressure on fuel
delivery unit
→ Anchor. |
| If the pressure does not drop now (leak on engine side): |
Note
| Search for leak on engine side. Repeat holding pressure
check. This time, close shut-off valve -B-
to check whether leak actually is on engine side. |
| If there is a leak on engine side: |
| – |
Check surfaces of fuel lines for leaks. |
| – |
Check surfaces of fuel rail and injectors for leaks
→ Rep. gr.24. |
| – |
Check injectors for leaks
→ Rep. gr.24. |
| Checking holding pressure on fuel
delivery unit: |
| – |
Remove right rear seat
→ General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.72. |
|
|
|
| – |
Partially detach cover -1- in
floor covering at parting line -arrow-. |

| – |
Unclip sealing grommet -1-
downwards from cover -2-. |
| – |
Push cover -2- back along
wiring harness -3-. |
|
|
|
| – |
Pull fuel line -1- off flange.
Separate plug-in connectors

|
|
| – |
Connect pressure tester -VAS 6550- to fuel delivery unit
-1- by means of hose -VAS
6550/3-4-. |
| – |
Connect pressure tester -VAS 6550- to fuel line
-2- by means of hose -VAS
6550/3-3-. |
| – |
Ensure plug-in connectors are secured properly by pulling. |
|
|
|
| – |
Ensure that drain tap -C- on
pressure tester-1- is closed. |
| – |
Shut-off valves -A- and
-B- on pressure tester-1-
are open. |
| – |
Actuate fuel pump with final control diagnosis to build up
fuel pressure. |
| – |
After pressure has built up, close shut-off tap
-B- of pressure tester immediately.
Lever is then at right angle to direction of flow. |
| – |
Repeat holding pressure check
→ Anchor. |
| If pressure no longer drops: |
| – |
Check fuel line for leaks. |
|
|
|
| If the pressure drops again: |
| – |
Open fuel delivery unit -1-
→ Chapter. |
| – |
Check that all hose connections
-arrows- are connected. |
