Removing and installing fuel pressure senderG247
Removing and installing fuel pressure sender -G247-
t  Removing → Anchor
t  Fitting → Anchor
Special tools and workshop equipment required
   
t  Bit (27 mm) -T40218- or commercially available socket (27 mm)
t  Torque wrench
  Note
t  The fuel pressure sender -G247- continuously measures the fuel pressure in the high-pressure system. It transmits a corresponding voltage signal to the engine control unit -J623-.
t  Should the fuel pressure sender fail, the engine control unit will control the fuel pressure via a mapped open-loop backup function. Maximum engine speed in this mode is restricted.
t  The fuel pressure sender -G247- has a deformable sealing lip.
Removing
  Caution
Risk of malfunctions caused by dirt.
Observe → Chapter „Rules for cleanliness and instructions for working on fuel system“.
  W00-10779
–  Remove engine cover panel -arrows-.
–  Before removal, clean area around thread for fuel pressure sender using commercial cleaning solution etc. (no dirt must enter opening).
  Note
Clean carefully; cleaning solvent must not enter the electrical connector.
–  Remove the fuel pressure sender -G247-.
  E10-10127
–  Unplug electrical connector -1- at fuel pressure sender -G247-.
–  Unscrew fuel pressure sender -G247- using socket, 27 mm -T40218-.
  Note
An open-end spanner must not be used for loosening or tightening.
–  Suction out the dirt from the opening of the high pressure tank (thread and sealing surface). Do not use metal tools, etc.
Installing
  Note
t  The fuel pressure sender -G247- has no sealing ring, but a deformable metal sealing.
t  Note damage of the sealing surfaces (bite-edge sealing) and thread of the newfuel pressure sender -G247- . If the fuel pressure sender -G247- was inspected and is in order, another reuse is possible.
t  Also check the sealing surface on the borehole of the high-pressure reservoir.
t  Start of thread and deformable sealing lip of fuel pressure regulating valve -G247- must be moistened with diesel.
–  Tighten the fuel pressure sender -G247- by hand.
–  Subsequently tighten the fuel pressure sender -G247- on the prescribed tightening torque.
t  Tightening torque → Chapter „Nozzle units: Assembly overview“
–  After installing fuel pressure sender -G247-, leave engine running at moderate speed for a few minutes when bleeding fuel system and then switch off again.
  Note
The high-pressure connections must „not“ be opened for bleeding; fuel system bleeds itself automatically.
–  Interrogate fault memory and erase, if necessary.
–  Switch ignition OFF.
–  Carefully check the entire fuel system for leaks.
Renew affected component if leakage still occurs after tightening to correct torque.
–  After completing the repair, road-test the vehicle. Accelerate with full throttle at least once. Then check the high-pressure section of the fuel system again for leaks.
  Note
If there is any air left in the fuel system, the engine may switch to the backup mode ('emergency running' mode) during the road test. Switch off the engine and erase the fault memory. Then continue road test.
–  After road test interrogate the fault memory again.
