Volkswagen Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Servicing ignition part

=> Repair group 28

Notes:

• ◆ The control unit for the fuel injection and ignition system is equipped with a fault memory. Before carrying out repairs, adjustment work and fault finding the fault memory must be interrogated and the vacuum connections checked (outside air).
• ◆ Components marked with * are checked via the self diagnosis.
  , interrogating fault memory
• ◆ Components marked with ** are checked via the final control control diagnosis => Page 01-19 .
• ◆ Always renew spring-type hose clips with screw-type hose clips.
• ◆ For trouble-free operation of the electrical components a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary.
• ◆ If the engine starts, runs for a short period and then stops, after fault finding, repairs or component tests, then the fault may lie with the immobilizer which is blocking the engine control unit. The fault memory must be interrogated and if necessary the control unit matched => Page 24-87 .

• ◆ During some checks it can happen that the control unit will recognise and store a fault. Therefore after completing all checks and repairs the fault memory must be interrogated and if necessary erased.

• ◆ 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.
