General notes on injection
t  Fuel hoses in engine compartment must be secured only with spring-type clips which conform to production standard. The use of clamp or screw-type clips is not permissible.
t  The battery must be disconnected only with ignition switched off. If a coded radio is installed, ascertain code before disconnecting battery.
t  Observe required procedures after connecting battery → Electrical system; Rep. Gr.27.
t  For trouble-free operation of 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  During some checks, it is possible that the control unit will detect and store a fault. Therefore, after completing all checks and repairs, read the fault memory and erase if necessary → 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 driver door is opened, the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds to develop pressure in the fuel system. This improves the quality of the start behavior.
