-

Unscrew fuel supply hose -1- from fuel rail -2-.

-

Connect V.A.G 1318 pressure gauge using adapters V.A.G 1318/7, /10 and /13.

-

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

-

Start engine and let run at idle.

-

Measure fuel pressure.
Specified value: approx. 3.5 bar positive pressure

-

Disconnect vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator (arrow). Fuel pressure should rise to approx. 4.0 bar positive pressure.

NOTE:  If fuel should escape at the vacuum connection of the pressure regulator, replace pressure regulator.

-

Switch ignition off.

-

Check for proper seal and residual pressure by observing pressure drop on pressure gauge. After 10 minutes at least 2.2 bar positive pressure still
be present.

If residual pressure falls below 2 bar positive pressure:

-

Start engine and let run at idle.

-

Wait until pressure has built up, and then switch off ignition. Simultaneously close shut-off valve of V.A.G 1318 pressure gauge (lever
perpendicular to direction of flow -arrow-).

-

Observe pressure drop on pressure gauge.

If pressure does not drop:

-

Test check-valve of Fuel Pump (FP). Fuel Pump (FP), checking. See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Pump/Testing
and Inspection/Fuel Pump, Checking - I
If pressure drops again:
