Procedure

Observe test conditions, refer to => [ Test Conditions ] General Information.

- Remove rear seat bench.

- Unclip the retainers - arrows - of the cover for sealing flange.





- Disconnect electrical harness connector - arrow - at locking flange.





- Connect (V.A.G 1348/3A) with (V.A.G 1348/3-3) with an adapter cable from (V.A.G 1594A) at terminal - 1 -.





- Cover the second connector terminal of (V.A.G 1348/3-3) with insulating tape - arrow - to prevent short circuit.

- Connect contact - 5 - to vehicle ground (GND) using a jumper cable from the (V.A.G 1594C).

- Connect alligator clip to battery positive.

- Remove fuel filler cap from fuel filler tube.


There is a risk of injury because the fuel is under high pressure.

Before opening the fuel system, lay a clean cloth around the connection point and carefully loosen it, which lowers the pressure.

- Pull the release button to disconnect the fuel supply line - 3 -.





If equipped, the fuel return line - 2 - and the vacuum line - 1 - remain connected.

- Attach (V.A.G 1318/23) and (V.A.G 1318/17-1) to (V.A.G 1318).





- Install the (V.A.G 1318/17-1) on the disconnected fuel supply line.

- Attach (V.A.G 1318/11) to (V.A.G 1318). Push an assisting hose - arrow - onto it and hold it into a measuring container.

- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction of flow.

- Generate pressure in the fuel system by pressing the switch of the remote control and slowly closing the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.

Specified value: 4 bar pressure.

- From this point on do not move position of shut-off tap.

- Empty the measuring container.

- Press the switch on the remote control for 15 seconds.

- Compare quantity of fuel delivered with minimum delivery rate in diagram (cm3/15s).





Voltage at fuel pump with engine stopped and pump running is approximately 2 volts less than battery voltage.

If minimum delivery quantity is not obtained, the following malfunctions may be present:

Fuel lines pinched.

Fuel filter clogged.

Fuel pump faulty.

Assembly is in the reverse order of removal, note the following:

- Install rear seat bench.
