- Connect (V.A.G 1348/3A) with (V.A.G 1348/3-3) to terminal - 1 - on connector.

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

- Route (V.A.G 1348/3A) switch forward in the engine compartment.

- Release the retaining clip and open the cover - A - over the positive terminal clamp.

- Connect the alligator clip to the positive terminal clamp.

- Remove the fuel cap from the fuel filler tube.

Risk of injury from fuel.

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

- Fold the boot - 1 - to the side and disconnect the fuel line.






- Push the hose coupling - 2 - in direction of - arrow A -, then press the release buttons - arrow B -.

- Remove the hose coupling with the release buttons pressed.

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






- (V.A.G 1318/17-1A) installed on the removed fuel line.

- Connect the (V.A.G 1318/11) to the (V.A.G 1318).

- Push an assisting hose - arrow - onto it and hold it into a measuring container.

- Open the pressure gauge shut-off valve.

• The lever points in the direction of flow.

- Bleed fuel system by briefly pressing remote control.

- 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 positive pressure.

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

- 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.

Assembling
