Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  multi-meter -V.A.G 1715-, see equivalent → Anchor Test requirements l  The fuses must be in good condition. l  Battery voltage at least 11.5 V l  All consumer electrics, for example: lights, heated rear window, should be off.

check operation and electricity supply –  Remove the rear seat bench → General body repairs, interior; Rep. Gr.72. –  Release retainers -arrows- at cover for sealing flange. –  Release carefully electrical connection -arrow- on sealing flange and take off. –  switch ignition on. The fuel pump should be heard to come on. –  Switch ignition OFF.

If the fuel pump does not run: –  Release carefully electrical connection -arrow- on sealing flange and take off.

–  Connect the remote control -V.A.G 1348/3 A- with adapter cable -V.A.G 1348/3-3- to contact -1- with an cable from the auxiliary measurement set -V.A.G 1594C-. –  Cover the second contact of the adapter wire -V.A.G 1348/3-3- with insulating tape -arrow- to avoid shorts. –  Join contact -5- to the bodywork earth using a cable from the auxiliary measurement set -V.A.G 1594C-. –  Connect the clip to the battery positive terminal (“+”). –  Press remote control switch. l  You should hear the noise of the pump functioning.   Note The fuel pump is very quiet. When testing the fuel pump ensure surrounds are quiet.

If you do not hear the pump functioning: –  Remove fuel delivery unit → Chapter. –  Check that the electrical wires between the flange and the fuel pump are coupled and that current circulates. If the wires are OK, the fuel pump is faulty. Therefore the fuel delivery unit should be replaced. –  Install fuel delivery unit → Chapter. Checking current consumption of fuel pump –  Extract the terminal connector from the fuel delivery unit flange

–  Adjust the multimeter to the 20 A range and connect it in series between the contacts -1- of the connector and the fuel pump using the auxiliary cables of the auxiliary measurement set -V.A.G 1594 C-.   Note The current clip of the multimeter -V.A.G 1715- may also be connected to an auxiliary cable between the contacts -1- of the connector and the fuel pump. –  Join the contacts -5- of the connector and the fuel pump using an auxiliary cable from the auxiliary measurement set -V.A.G 1594 C-. –  Start engine and run at idling speed. –  Measure the power consumption of the fuel pump. Specification: 3.5 to 4.5 amps. –  If the measurement value differs from the specification: –  Renew the fuel delivery unit → Chapter.
