1 - Fuel metering valve -N290-
q   Do not unscrew
2 - High-pressure fuel pump
q   With gear-type fuel system pressurisation pump
q   High-pressure pump generates fuel pressure up to 1600 bar
q   Gear-type fuel system pressurisation pump generates fuel pressure between 4 and 5 bar
q   Exploded view: vehicles up to 09.2005 → Chapter; vehicles from 09.2005 onwards → Chapter
q   Removing and installing: vehicles up to 09.2005 → Chapter; vehicles from 09.2005 onwards → Chapter
3 - Rail element (high-pressure reservoir)
q   Cylinder bank 1
4 - Fuel pressure regulating valve -N276-
q   On cylinder bank 1
q   Cannot be re-installed
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
5 - Fuel pressure sender -G247-
q   On cylinder bank 2
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
6 - Rail element (high-pressure reservoir)
q   For cylinder bank 2
7 - Injectors (piezo injectors)
q   Injectors 1 ... 6
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
8 -  Fuel return lines (from injectors)
q   The fuel return lines must not be dismantled; if necessary they must be renewed complete with pressure retention valve.
q   After replacement, engine must be run at idling speed for approx. 2 minutes to bleed fuel system. Then check fuel return lines for leaks.
9 - Pressure retention valve
q   The pressure retention valve maintains a residual pressure of approx. 10 bar in the return lines.
q   This residual pressure is required for the control function of the piezo injectors.
q   The pressure retention valve may only be renewed together with the fuel return lines.
q   After replacement, engine must be run at idling speed for approx. 2 minutes to bleed fuel system
q   Checking pressure retention valve → Chapter
10 - Fuel system pressurisation pump -G6-
