- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction
of flow.
- Start engine and let run at idle.
- Measure fuel pressure.

Specification: about 3.5 bar positive pressure

- Disconnect vacuum hose at fuel pressure regulator.

Fuel pressure must rise to about 4.0 bar positive pressure.
- Switch ignition off.
- Check for proper seal and residual pressure by observing pressure
drop on pressure gauge.
After 10 minutes, there must be at least 2.5 bar positive pressure

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

If pressure drops again:

- Check wire connections, O-rings at fuel
distributor and fuel injectors for proper seal.

- Check whether pressure gauge is properly
sealed.

Note:
Before disconnecting pressure gauge, release
pressure by opening shut-off valve. Hold a
container in front of connection for this.
