  Caution
When installing a new base engine, it is essential that the clamping pieces for the injectors are tightened to the specified torque → Chapter after installing the high-pressure pipes. The clamping pieces are only secured hand-tight at the factory so the injectors can be aligned during installation. If these instructions are not observed, the engine could be damaged.
   
1 - Seal
q   In cylinder head cover
q   Removing and installing → Rep. gr.15
2 - Copper seal
q   Renew
3 - O-ring
q   Renew
4 - Injector
q   If they are to be re-installed, the injectors, high-pressure pipes and clamping pieces must always be re-fitted on the same cylinder
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
5 - O-ring
q   Renew
6 - Fuel return line
q   To fuel tank
q   With restrictor
q   Must not be kinked, damaged or clogged
q   Do not dismantle
q   The restrictor maintains a constant residual pressure in the fuel return lines
q   This residual pressure is required for the control function of the injectors
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
7 - Bolt
q   Renew
q   8 Nm + 180°
8 - Clamping piece
q   Mark allocation for re-installation; pay attention to marking when installing
q   Installation position → Fig.
9 - High-pressure pipe
q   Between fuel rail and injectors
  Note
t  The high-pressure pipe can be re-used after performing the following checks:
t  Check taper seat for deformation and cracks.
t  The bore of the pipe must not be distorted, restricted or otherwise damaged.
t  Corroded pipes must not be used again.
q   Install free of stress
q   Lubricate threads of union nuts with clean engine oil
q   25 Nm
10 - Bolt
q   22 Nm
11 - Fuel rail
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
12 - Fuel return hose
13 - Fuel pressure regulating valve -N276-
q   Always renew after removing
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
q   80 Nm
q   After renewing high-pressure pump or fuel pressure regulating valve -N276-, learnt values must be re-adapted; see „Guided Functions“ in → Vehicle diagnostic tester
14 - O-ring
q   Renew
15 - High-pressure pipe
q   Between high-pressure pump and fuel rail
  Note
t  Note identification marks for cylinder allocation when re-installing high-pressure pipes.
t  The high-pressure pipes can be re-used after performing the following checks:
t  Check taper seats of high-pressure pipes for deformation and cracks.
t  The bore of the pipe must not be distorted, restricted or otherwise damaged.
t  Corroded pipes must not be used again.
q   Install free of stress
q   Lubricate threads of union nuts with clean engine oil
