-

Unscrew fuel hose from connection on fuel rail pipe. To do so, counterhold using an open-end wrench at each hex head -1- and -3- and unscrew
union nut -2-.

-

Connect V.A.G 1318 Fuel Inj. Pressure Gauge-CIS in supply line using adapters 1318/6 and 1318/7.

-

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

-

Start engine and let run at idle.

-

Measure fuel pressure.

Specified value: 3.8 to 4.2 bar

-

Switch ignition off.

Checking holding pressure

-

Check for proper seal and residual pressure by observing pressure drop on pressure gauge.
-

Specified value with a cold engine: approx. 2.2 bar

-

Specified value with the engine at operating temperature: approx. 3.0 bar

NOTE:  Pressure increase for an engine at operating temperature due to fuel expansion is normal.

If holding pressure sinks below 2.2 / 3.0 bar positive pressure:

-

Start engine and let run at idle.
