Releasing pressure in high-pressure area |
WARNING The injection system consists of a high-pressure section (maximum approx. 120 bar) and a low-pressure section (approx. 6 bar). |
Prior to opening the high-pressure area, e.g. when removing the high-pressure pump, fuel rail, injectors, a fuel line, or the fuel pressure sender -G247-, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure area must be reduced to a residual pressure of approx. 6 bar. The appropriate procedure is described as follows. |
|
WARNING The fuel lines are pressurized! Wear eye protection and protective clothing to avoid possible injury and skin contact. Before opening the high-pressure section, wrap a cloth around the connection. |
|
–
| Wrap a clean cloth around the connection and carefully open to release residual pressure of approx. 6 bar. Catch the escaping fuel. |
–
| After completing work, read fault memory of engine control unit, erase all fault entries that have been created by pulling off connector. |
