Test conditions  
     
No leaks in exhaust system 
     Coolant temperature at least 80 C 
     
Electrical consumers switched off (radiator 
fan must not run during the check) 
     A/C switched off 
     Pressure gauge not connected 
     Selector lever in position P or N (vehicles 
with automatic transmission) 
     
Checking idle speed  
     
Notes:  
     The idle speed cannot be adjusted.
     The idle speed is tested during the basic setting 
of the engine.

-  If pressure is higher than specification, check 
return pipe for damage (e.g. pinching) and 
renew if necessary. 
     
Note:  
     During the following test, do not allow the engine 
to run for too long with the vacuum hose 
disconnected, otherwise the increased fuel 
pressure will enrich the air/fuel mixture and may 
cause the lambda control limits to be exceeded. 
This would be stored as a fault in the fault 
memory. 
     
-  Start the engine and run at idling speed.
     
-  Switch off electrical consumers (air conditioner 
etc.). 
     
-  Re-connect vacuum hose to fuel pressure 
regulator and observe drop in pressure on 
pressure gauge.

WARNING! 
     
Fire hazard! The fuel system is pressurized. 
Before loosening hose connections or 
opening the test connection (to measure fuel 
pressure), place a cloth around the 
connection. Then release pressure by 
carefully pulling off the hose or cap. 
     
Test conditions  
     
Fuel pressure OK; testing   Page 24

 . 
      To reach the fuel rail, the following steps must be 
performed on vehicles with manual transmission 
(without secondary air injection). On vehicles 
with automatic transmission (with secondary air 
injection) are minor differences in the work 
procedure.  
    
Several hoses must now be disconnected:  -  Unscrew bolts on air duct at points indicated (arrows) and remove air 
duct. 
-  Absolute cleanliness must be maintained.
