1) If no self-diagnostics available, or no trouble codes
present, identify symptom.
2) See trouble shooting procedure to repair complaint. See H
- TESTS W/O CODES
TEST SYSTEM
1) Perform necessary systems and component tests. See I -
SYS/COMP TESTS.
2) Verify that complaint is repaired.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
* Always refer to Engine Tune-Up Decal in engine compartment before
performing tune-up. If manual and decal differ, always use decal
specifications.
* DO NOT allow or create a condition of misfire in more than one
cylinder for an extended period of time. Damage to converter may
occur due to loading converter with unburned air/fuel mixture.
* Always turn ignition off and disconnect negative battery cable
BEFORE disconnecting or connecting computer or other electrical
components.
* DO NOT drop or shock electrical components such as computer,
airflow meter, etc.
* DO NOT use fuel system cleaning compounds that are not
recommended by the manufacturer. Damage to gaskets, diaphragm
materials and catalytic converter may result.
* Before performing a compression test or cranking engine using a
remote starter switch, disconnect coil wire from distributor and
secure it to a good engine ground, or disable ignition.
* Before disconnecting any fuel system component, ensure fuel
system pressure is released.
* Use a shop towel to absorb any spilled fuel to prevent fire.
* DO NOT create sparks or have an open flame near battery.
* If any EFI components such as hoses or clamps are replaces,
ensure they are replaced with components designed for EFI use.
* Always reassemble throttle body components with new gaskets, "O"
rings and seals.
* If equipped with an inertia switch, DO NOT reset switch until
fuel system has been inspected for leaks.
* Wear safety goggles when drilling or grinding.
* Wear proper clothing which protects against chemicals and other
hazards.

Volkswagen Basic Diagnostic Procedures
Cabriolet, Corrado SLC, EuroVan, Fox, Golf,
GTI, Jetta, Passat GL, Passat GLX
INTRODUCTION
The following diagnostic steps will help prevent overlooking
a simple problem. This is also where to begin diagnosis for a no-start
condition.
The first step in diagnosing any driveability problem is
verifying the customer's complaint with a test drive under the
conditions the problem reportedly occurred.
Before entering self-diagnostics (if equipped), perform a
careful and complete visual inspection. Most engine control problems
result from mechanical breakdowns, poor electrical connections, or
damaged/misrouted vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computerized
system, perform each test listed in this article.
NOTE: Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter
(DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless
stated otherwise in test procedure.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENTS
VISUAL INSPECTION
Visually inspect all electrical wiring, looking for chafed,
stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit
tightly and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed
and are not pinched or cut. See M - VACUUM DIAGRAMS article in this
section to verify routing and connections (if necessary). Inspect air
induction system for possible vacuum leaks.
MECHANICAL INSPECTION
Compression
Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge,
vacuum gauge, or an engine analyzer. See engine analyzer manual for
specific instructions.
WARNING: DO NOT use ignition switch during compression tests on fuel
injected vehicles. Use a remote starter to crank engine. Fuel
injectors on many models are triggered by ignition switch
during cranking mode, which can create a fire hazard or
contaminate the engine's oiling system.

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)

Remove fuel pump relay from relay panel. Activate fuel pumps
using Remote Control (US 4480/3). Activate fuel pumps for 30 seconds.
Compare fuel volume with values in FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE table.
Corrado, GTI & Passat
1) Remove fuel pump relay from relay panel. On Corrado and
Passat, activate fuel pumps using Remote Control (VAG 1348/3A). On
GTI, activate fuel pumps using Remote Control (US 4480/3). On all
models, measure voltage being applied to fuel pump when activating
with remote control. Record voltage.
2) Fuel volume is relative to voltage applied to fuel pumps.
Activate fuel pumps for 30 seconds. Compare volume with values in FUEL
PUMP PERFORMANCE table.
