Checking delivery rate of fuel pump
   
Checking delivery rate of fuel pump
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  K-Jetronic pressure tester -V.A.G 1318-
t  Adapter -V.A.G 1318/11-
t  Adapter set -V.A.G 1318/17A-
t  Connector -V.A.G 1318/23-
t  Vehicle diagnostic tester, e.g. vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-
t  Fuel-resistant measuring container

   
Procedure
–  Observe test conditions → Chapter.
–  Remove filler cap -arrow- for fuel filler neck.
  WARNING
The fuel can become extremely hot. This can cause injuries.
t  In extreme cases the fuel lines and the fuel can reach a temperature of 100 °C. Allow the fuel to cool down before disconnecting the lines - danger of scalding.
t  Wear protective gloves.
t  Wear safety goggles.
Risk of injury - fuel system operates under high pressure.
To reduce the pressure in the fuel system, wrap a clean cloth around the connection and carefully loosen the connection.

–  Press release tab and disconnect fuel supply line -A-.
  Note
Disregard -item B-.

–  Screw connector -V.A.G 1318/23- and adapter -V.A.G 1318/17-1A- onto K-Jetronic pressure tester -V.A.G 1318-.
–  Fit -V.A.G 1318/17-1A- onto disconnected fuel line.
–  Connect adapter -V.A.G 1318/11- to -V.A.G 1318-.
–  Attach test hose -arrow- and hold end of hose in measuring container.
  Note
To measure the fuel delivery rate, pressure must first be built up in the fuel supply line; the fuel pump must then operate against this pressure during the measurement. This pressure can be built up using -V.A.G 1318- as follows:
–  Open cut-off valve on pressure tester.
l  Lever must point in direction of flow.
–  Connect vehicle diagnostic tester.
–  Switch on the ignition and select the following menu options on the vehicle diagnostic tester:
t  Vehicle self-diagnosis
t  Engine electronics
t  Basic setting
t  Checking fuel system pressurisation pump
–  Press Start: The fuel pump will start running.
–  Build up pressure in fuel system by slowly closing cut-off valve on pressure tester until correct pressure has been reached.
l  Specification: 0.8 bar
–  From this point on do not move position of cut-off valve.
–  Press Stop.
–  Drain measuring container.
–  For measurement, press Start again and let fuel pump run for 15 seconds.
–  Press Stop after 15 seconds.
–  Check amount of fuel delivered in measuring container.
l  Specification for minimum delivery rate: at least 250 cm3 in 15 seconds (with a supply voltage of 12 V at the fuel pump).
If minimum delivery rate is not achieved, check for the following causes:
t  Fuel lines have been crushed.
t  Fuel filter is blocked.
t  Fuel pump is defective.
Assemble in reverse order.
