Edition 08.96
- Detach screw connections -arrow- at the
front left and at the retaining straps.
- Lower fuel tank. Installing Installation is performed in the reverse order; pay attention to the following points:
- Connect fuel pipes to the flange of the fuel
delivery unit:
Blue return flow pipe -1- to connection marked with -R-.
Black feed pipe -2- to connection marked with -V-.
Connecting remote control
Special tools, testers and aids required Remote control V.A.G 1348/3A with adapter
cable V.A.G 1348/3-2
Procedure
- Open cover of the fuse box on the left-hand side of the dash panel.
- Remove fuse 28 at the fuse carrier (left-hand row, 5th large fuse form the top).
- Connect remote control V.A.G 1348/3A with
adapter cable V.A.G 1348/3-2 to the fuse base of fuse 28 -arrow-.

Testing fuel pump
Special tools, testers and aids required
Hand-held multimeter (e.g. V.A.G 1526)
Wrench for union nut (e.g. MP 1-227)
Adapter cable set (e.g. V.A.G 1594)
Current flow diagram
Test conditions
Holding pressure o.k.; testing:
1.8 ltr./92 kW Engine, Motronic Fuel Injection and Ignition System; Repair Group 24;
Testing fuel pressure regulator and holding pressure
Battery voltage at least 12 V
Fuse 28 o.k.
Fuse filter o.k.
Test procedure
- Switch on ignition. The fuel pump should be heard to operate. (A second mechanic may be required if there is a high level of surrounding noise) If the fuel pump does not run:
- Switch off ignition.
- Connect remote control V.A.G 1348/3A with adapter cable V.A.G 1348/3-2 page 20-8.
- Operate remote control.If the fuel pump runs:
Test fuel pump relay: 1.8 ltr./92 kW Engine, Motronic Fuel Injection and Ignition System; Repair Group 24; Servicing Motronic fuel injection system; testing fuel pump relay and actuation

If the fuel pump does not run:
- Unbolt cover (below the rear seat).
- Release 4-pin connector form the flange at
the fuel tank and unplug.
- Connect hand-held multimeter (e.g. V.A.G
1526) with auxiliary cables (e.g. from V.A.G
1594) to the outer contacts of the connector.
- Operate remote control. Specification: about battery voltage
If the specification is not achieved:
- Determine open circuit in the wiring on the basis of the current flow diagram and rectify:
⇒ Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault Finding and Fitting Locations binder
If the specification is achieved:
- Use MP 1-227 to unscrew union nut.
- Check whether the electric cables between flange and fuel pump are connected and test
for continuity.
If no open circuit in the wiring can be found:
Fuel pump faulty.
- Replace fuel delivery unit ⇒ page 20-5.
Testing delivery of the fuel pump
Special tools, testers and aids required♦ Adapter V.A.G 1318/17
♦ Measuring vessel
Test conditions
Battery voltage at least 12 V
Voltage supply o.k.
Fuel filter o.k.

Test procedure
- Switch off ignition.
- Connect remote control V.A.G 1348/3A with
adapter cable V.A.G 1348/3-2 ⇒ page 20-8.
- Remove cap from the fuel filler neck.
Important! Fuel system is pressurised! Place cleaning ragsaround the connection point before opening the
system. Then, release pressure by carefullyloosening the connection point.
- Disconnect fuel return flow pipe -2- (press
release buttons).
- Connect auxiliary hose to adapter V.A.G 1318/17 and fit onto the fuel return flow pipe of the engine and hold in a measuring vessel.
- Operate remote control for 15 seconds (press button and hold).
- Compare quantity of fuel supplied with spe-
cification.
*)Minimum delivery cm3/15 s
**)Voltage at fuel pump when engine switched
off and pump running (about 2 V less than battery voltage).
