Servicing diesel direct injection system
Rules for cleanliness
When working on the fuel supply/injection system, carefully observe to the following 5 cleanliness rules:
-
◆ Thoroughly clean all unions and the adjacent areas before disconnecting.
-
◆ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use lint-free cloths.
-
◆ Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be carried out immediately.
-
◆ Only install clean components:
Only remove replacement parts from packaging immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (e.g. in toolboxes etc.).
-
◆ When the system is open:
Do not work with compressed air if this can be avoided. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
-
◆ Also ensure that no diesel fuel runs onto the coolant hoses. If necessary, the hoses must be cleaned again immediately. Affected hoses must be replaced.
