kg/cmý). Turn engine off. After 10 minutes, residual pressure should
be 29 psi (2 kg/cm
ý). If system pressure is too high, replace fuel
pressure regulator.
3) If residual pressure is too low, operate engine until
system pressure builds up, then pinch off Blue fuel return line. If
pressure holds, replace the fuel regulator. If fuel pressure is low,
check for leaks at fuel lines, fuel injectors and fuel pump check
valve
TRANSFER PUMP CHECK
Transfer Pump Fuel Volume Check
1) Turn ignition off. To check transfer pump (in tank),
remove rear seat. Remove fuel sending unit access cover. Disconnect
ignition coil secondary wire and jumper to ground.
2) With transmission in Neutral, crank engine for 3-4
seconds. While starter is turning and for a few seconds afterwards, an
audible sound should be heard at the pump. If sound is not heard, go
to next step. If sound is heard, go to step 5).
3) Remove fuel pump relay from relay panel. On Corrado and
Passat, activate fuel pumps using Remote Control (VAG 1348/3A). On all
other models, activate fuel pumps using Remote Control (US 4480/3). On
all models, if pump does not operate, remove transfer pump wire
harness connector. See Fig. 1.
4) Using test light, check voltage between middle wire and
outer Brown wire of fuel pump connector for Digifant fuel system, or
between Brown wire and Red/Yellow wire for CIS-E fuel system. If
voltage is present, replace transfer pump. If voltage is not present,
repair open or short circuit in wiring.
5) Remove fuel pump relay jumper wire. Disconnect and plug
transfer pump output hose. Attach a hose to pump outlet connector and
place other end of hose in a graduated container. Activate fuel pump
for 10 seconds.
6) Minimum fuel flow should be 10 ounces (.3 liter). If fuel
flow is low, check fuel tank filter for restriction. If fuel tank
filter is okay, replace transfer pump.Fig. 1: Checking Transfer Pump Fuel Volume (Typical)

INTERMITTENTS
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS
Intermittent fault testing requires duplicating circuit or
component failure to identify the problem. These procedures may lead
to the computer setting a fault code (on some systems) which may help
in diagnosis.
If problem vehicle does not produce fault codes, monitor
voltage or resistance values using a DVOM while attempting to
reproduce conditions causing intermittent fault. A status change on
DVOM indicates a fault has been located.
Use a DVOM to pinpoint faults. When monitoring voltage,
ensure ignition switch is in ON position or engine is running. Ensure
ignition switch is in OFF position or negative battery cable is
disconnected when monitoring circuit resistance. Status changes on
DVOM during test procedures indicate area of fault.
TEST PROCEDURES
Intermittent Simulation
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault,
use the following methods:
* Lightly vibrate component.
* Heat component.
* Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
* Spray component with water.
* Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while
simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-
diagnostic codes. Use the test results to identify a faulty component
or circuit. For system or component testing refer to the appropriate
I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in this section. See the menu below:
* For Cabriolet, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For Corrado SLC, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For EuroVan, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For Fox, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For Golf, GTI, Jetta, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
