After the fuel rail has been removed or renewed, intake manifold flap potentiometer -G336- must be adapted to engine control unit -J623-. Use → Vehicle diagnostic tester in „Guided Functions“ mode.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
   
t  Assembly tool -T10118-
  W00-1148
t  Hose clip pliers -V.A.G 1921-
  W00-0464
t  Socket Torx T30 -T10347-
Removing
  Note
t  The injectors can only be accessed after the intake manifold and the fuel rail with the air flow control flaps have been removed.
t  The combustion chamber ring seal (teflon) and the O-ring must be renewed.

  WARNING
The fuel system is pressurised. The fuel pressure in the high-pressure part of the injection system must be reduced to a residual pressure prior to opening; for procedure see → Chapter.
–  Disconnect negative terminal from battery.
–  Remove engine cover panel → Chapter.

–  Disconnect vacuum line -1- at connection -2-.
–  Remove crankcase breather hose -3-.
  Note
  N24-10444
–  Release spring-type clip -top arrow- and detach fuel supply hose from high-pressure pump.
–  Unscrew union nut for high-pressure pipe -bottom arrow- at high-pressure pump.
  Note
t  The fuel system must not be under pressure.
t  Use a clean cloth to catch escaping fuel.
t  Seal off open connections with clean caps. Make sure no dirt gets into the fuel system.
