Fuel pressure regulator and residual 
fuel pressure, checking
 
     
Requirements  
     
Fuel pump relay OK 
     Fuel pump OK 
     Fuel filter OK 
     Battery voltage at least 11 V 
     
Note:  
     The fuel pressure regulator regulates the fuel 
pressure according to intake manifold pressure. 
This ensures that the drop in pressure at the 
injectors remains the same throughout all engine 
speed and engine load ranges. 
     
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.

      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.

Before loosening hose connections or opening 
the test connection, place a cloth around the 
connection. Then release pressure by carefully 
pulling off the hose or cap.  10 - 
Briefly open screw connection on fuel rail 
(supply hose) to release pressure. Use 
clean cloth to catch any fuel that leaks 
out. Then tighten screw connection again.
11 - 
Unbolt fuel rail from intake manifold at the 
points indicated (see arrows). 
Tightening torque bolts: 10 Nm
