If residual pressure sinks below 2.5 bar positive
pressure:

- Start engine and let run at idle.

If pressure does not drop now:
If pressure drops again:
If pressure does not drop now: - Wait until pressure has dropped, and then switch off ignition.
Simultaneously close shut-off valve of VAG1318 pressure gauge (lever
perpendicular to direction of flow -arrow-).
- Observe pressure drop on pressure gauge.
- Test check-valve on Fuel Pump (FP).
- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction
of flow.
- Start engine and let run at idle.
- Wait until pressure has dropped, and then switch off ignition.
Simultaneously clamp return line (with blue marking) completely
closed.
- Replace fuel pressure regulator

Test sequence

- Remove fuel distributor including fuel injectors
from intake manifold Page 24
-46
. Fuel lines
remain connected.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect
ECM Page 24

.

Checking Proper Seal

- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires
from VAG1594A adapter test kit.

- Switch ignition on.


Fuel Pump (FP) must run.

- Check proper seal of fuel injectors (visual
inspection). With Fuel Pump (FP) running, only 1
to 2 drops per minute may drip out per injector.

-
If fuel loss is greater, stop Fuel Pump (FP) from

Checking Injection Quantity

- Insert fuel injector to be tested in a measuring
glass from VAG1602 injection quantity test
device.

- Connect one terminal of fuel injector to engine Ground (GND) using an
adapter cable and an alligator clip from VAG1594A connector test kit.
- Connect second terminal of fuel injector to B+ using VAG1348/3A
remote control, VAG1348/3-2 adapter cable and assisting cable.
- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires from VAG1594A
adapter test kit.
- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires from VAG1594A
adapter test kit.
- Switch ignition on.

Fuel Pump (FP) must run.
- Activate VAG1348/3A remote control for 30 seconds.
- Perform measurement on all fuel injectors.

- After all four fuel injectors have been activated,
place measuring glasses on an even surface.


Specified value for each fuel injector: 135
10 ml

- If measured value of one or more fuel injectors
is outside of specified range, switch Fuel Pump
(FP) off (switch ignition off) and replace faulty
fuel injector Page 24
-46
.

- If measured values of all fuel injectors are
outside specified range, check fuel pressure
Page 24
-33
.

Note:
Also check spray pattern when checking injection
quantity. Spray pattern must be the same for all
injectors

- Install fuel injectors together with fuel distributor

Voltage is supplied to the Fuel Pump (FP) and
several components of the injection system via
the Fuel Pump (FP) relay -J17-.
Engine must be turning for Fuel Pump (FP) relay
-J17- to close. This means that the relay does
not receive Ground (GND) (via ECM) until the
ECM recognizes RPM signals.

Test requirement:

Battery voltage at least 12.7 V

Function test of Fuel Pump (FP) relay

- Remove driver-side storage compartment.
