| General notes on self-diagnosis |
| t
| The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability. Fault memory must be interrogated before carrying out any repairs and the fault finding. Also the vacuum hoses and connections must be checked (unmetered air). |
| t
| Fuel hoses in engine compartment must only be secured with spring-type clips. The use of clamp or screw-type clips is not permissible. |
| t
| A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of the electrical components. |
| t
| Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone drawn into the engine, will not be burnt in the engine and damage the Lambda probe. |
| t
| The vehicles are fitted with a crash/fuel shut-off system. It reduces the danger of a fire in a crash as the fuel pump is switched off via the fuel pump relay. |
| t
| At the same time, this system also improves the engine's starting performance. When the driver's door is opened, the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds in order to build up pressure in the fuel system . |
