Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System

CAUTION!
The fuel injection system is divided into a high pressure section (maximum approximately 110 bar) and a low pressure system
(approximately 6 bar).

Before opening high pressure parts, e.g. removing high pressure pump, fuel rail, fuel injectors, fuel pipes, etc., reduce the fuel pressure in
the high pressure area to a residual pressure of approximately 6 bar. The procedure for this is as follows.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

‹› Vehicle diagnostic, testing, and information system (VAS 5051B)

High fuel pressure, reducing

-

Connect Vehicle Diagnosis, testing & info. system (VAS 5051B).

-

Start engine and run at idle speed.

-

Select "engine electronics" in OBD.

-

Then select "Measured values" read out.

-

Select measured value block 140.

-

With the engine running at idle, the fuel pressure will be displayed in display field 3.

‹› Specified value: Between 35 and 45 bar

-

Remove right instrument panel cover..

-

Remove fuel pump control module (J538) fuse in the fuse panel with the engine idling, see.
