-  Connect test box VAG 1598/31 to wiring 
harness for engine control unit. Do not connect 
to the engine control unit itself.   Page 24

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.

WARNING! 
Fire hazard! The fuel system is pressurized. 
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).

-  Lift fuel rail off intake manifold together with fuel 
injectors and support the fuel rail. 
     
Note:  
     
After lifting off the fuel rail, check to make sure 
that the injectors are properly secured to the 
fuel rail. 
     It is possible that some of the fuel injectors will 
become detached from the fuel rail and remain 
in the intake manifold when the fuel rail is 
removed. If this happens, install the fuel 
injectors back onto the fuel rail   Page 24

WARNING! 
Make sure test box is inside of passenger compartment.  -  Connect test box VAG 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control 
unit. Do not connect to the engine control module itself   Page 24
