Changing the right-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module
E113328
If the right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module needs to be changed on a vehicle with a
booster heater/additional heater, the bore for the
connection to the fuel-fired booster
heater/additional heater must be drilled.
The right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module contains a demand-switched electric fuel
pump which drives two suction jet pumps. One of
them ensures that fuel is pumped from the left-hand
half of the tank into the right-hand half. On-demand
switching is performed by the fuel pump module.
To remove the right-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module it is necessary to detach theleft-hand fuel pump and level indicator module and
pull it out slightly so that the connecting hose can
be detached and the connector for the left-hand
fuel pump and level indicator module can be
disconnected. The left-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module can be removed without detaching
the right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module.
The instrument cluster uses the signals from both
fuel fill level sensors to determine the fuel fill level.
The resistor tracks of the fuel fill level sensors
cannot be replaced individually.
The fuel filter is designed to last for the service life
of the vehicle and does not need to be replaced.
The right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module contains an overpressure limiting valve.
This overpressure limiting valve ensures that the
fuel pressure between the injectors and the
right-hand fuel pump and level indicator module
does not exceed 3.3 bar after the engine is
stopped. This reduces the formation of vapor
bubbles and also prevents dripping from the
injectors.
Fuel filler pipe and tank cap
NOTE:
Any water in the filling area can cause the
mechanism to freeze at temperatures below 0 °C.
In this case the closing mechanism will not open
when the nozzle of the petrol/diesel pump is
inserted.
