Checking injectors

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items

  • ◆ Test box V.A.G 1598/18
  • ◆ Hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 or multimeter V.A.G 1715
  • ◆ Diode test lamp V.A.G 1527
  • ◆ Adapter set V.A.G 1594
  • ◆ Current flow diagram

Check conditions

  • ● Engine speed sender OK.
  • ● Fuel pump relay OK

Checking activation

 
N24-0182

Engine codes ADY, AGG, AKR

  • ‒ → Pull plug -1- off connection -2- and connect diode test lamp V.A.G 1527 with aux. cables from V.A.G 1594 to the contacts of the plug.

Engine codes AFT, AKS

  • ‒ Remove intake manifold upper part, , item 11 .
 
N24-0202
  • ‒ → Pull plug -1- off connection -2- and connect diode test lamp V.A.G 1527 with aux. cables from V.A.G 1594 to the contacts of the plug.

Continued for all engine codes

  • ‒ Pull the connectors off injectors 2...4.
  • ‒ Operate starter and check the voltage supply for No. 1 Cyl. injector.
         LED must flicker
  • ‒ Repeat check on injectors 2...4.

The LED does not flicker:

 
N24-0165
  • ‒ Switch off ignition.
  • ‒ → Connect test box V.A.G 1598/18 to control unit wiring loom.
 
N24-0203
  • ‒ → Check wiring between test box and connector for open circuit according to current flow diagram.
         Injector 1: Contact 2+socket 02
         Injector 2: Contact 2+socket 46
         Injector 3: Contact 2+socket 47
         Injector 4: Contact 2+socket 48
         Wire resistance: Max.1.5 ω
  • ‒ Check wiring between connector for injectors contact 1 and relay plate for open circuit according to current flow diagram.
         Wire resistance: Max. 1.5 ω
  • ‒ Additionally check wires for short to one another.
         Specification: ∞ω

Checking resistance of injectors

 
N24-0204
  • ‒ → Check resistance of injectors individually
         Specification: 15...20 ω

If the specification is not attained, replace injector(s) as necessary.

Checking spray pattern and for leaks

Warning!
The fuel system is pressurized! Before loosening hose connections or opening the test connection, wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling off the hose/sealing cap.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items

  • ◆ Adapter set V.A.G 1594
  • ◆ Digital potentiometer V.A.G 1630
  • ◆ Measuring unit V.A.G 1602

Test sequence

Engine codes ADY, AGG, AKR

 
V24-1063
  • ‒ Remove toothed belt guard upper part.
  • ‒ Remove valve cover.
  • ‒ → Pull plug off coolant temperature sender (G62).

Engine codes AFT, AKS

  • ‒ Remove intake manifold upper part, => Page 24-11 , item 11 .
 
V24-1148
  • ‒ Remove fuel manifold complete with injectors => Page 24-22 , Item 1 .
  • ‒ → Pull plug off coolant temperature sender (G62).

Continued for all engine codes

 
V24-1061
  • ‒ → Hold injectors in the measuring appliance V.A.G 1602.
  • ‒ Set digital potentiometer V.A.G 1630 -side A- to 15 kωand using aux. cables from V.A.G 1594 connect to contacts 1+3 of disconnected plug.
  • ‒ Pull plug off ignition transformer.
  • ‒ Operate starter (2nd person required). The injectors must pulsate and spray in accordance with firing order.
  • ‒ Switch off ignition and check injectors for leaks. No more than
         2 drops/min
    may leak from each injector.

Note:

When installing the injectors ensure that the O rings

are not damaged.
