Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (V.A.G 1331)

• Ring Spanner Insert (V.A.G 1331/2)

Removing

• The following removal and installation procedure is for the left lower section of the intake manifold. The procedure for the other side is identical.


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

• Before opening high pressure area of the fuel injection system, fuel pressure must be relieved to residual pressure. Refer to => [ Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System ] Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System

• To reduce the remaining residual pressure, lay a clean cloth around the connector and carefully loosen connector.

- Remove the upper section of the intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold, Upper Section ] Intake Manifold, Upper Section.

- Disconnect the electrical connector on the fuel pressure sensor (G247) - 2 -.





- Remove the union nut - 1 -.

- Remove the bolts and nuts - arrows - and remove the lower section of the intake manifold with the fuel rail.

• Plug the intake ports of the cylinder head with clean rags.

• Lubricate the fuel injector O-rings lightly with clean engine oil.

- Press the lower section of the intake manifold with the fuel rail evenly onto the fuel injectors.

- Tighten the bolts and nut - arrows - on the lower section of the intake manifold diagonally in stages.





• Tightening specification, refer to => [ Intake Manifold, Lower Section, with Fuel Rail Assembly Overview ] Intake Manifold, Lower Section, With Fuel Rail Assembly Overview

- Disconnect the electrical connector - 2 - on the fuel pressure sensor.

- Install the high pressure line - 1 - on the fuel rail. Refer to => [ High Pressure Lines ] Service and Repair.





• Check fuel system for leaks.
