| General notes on injection |
| t
| Fuel hoses in engine compartment must be secured only with spring type clips (as supplied by the factory). The use of clamp or screw-type clips is not permissible. |
| t
| The battery should only be disconnected with the ignition switched off. If a coded radio is installed, before disconnecting the battery, request the anti-theft coding first. |
WARNING |
| t
| The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability. |
| t
| For trouble-free operation of the electrical components a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary |
| 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
| If the fuel system has been opened it must be vented before starting the engine → Chapter. |
| t
| If after the fault location, repair or testing of components, the engine only starts for a short time and then stalls, this may be because the immobiliser has blocked the engine control unit. In this case, consult the fault memory → Chapter and adjust the control unit if necessary → Chapter. |
| t
| Certain tests may lead to a fault being detected by the control unit and stored. The event memory should therefore be read-out and, if necessary, erased after completing the tests and any repair work that may be required → Chapter. |
| t
| Vehicles with an airbag are fitted with a crash/fuel shut-off. It reduces the danger of a fire in a crash as the fuel pump is switched off via the fuel pump relay. |
| t
| When opening the driver's door, the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds to build-up pressure in the fuel system. By this the starting behaviour is improved. |
