       If the diode test lamp does not flash:  
     
-  Connect test box VAG 1598/31 to wiring 
harness for engine control unit. Do not connect 
to the engine control unit itself.   Page 24

 . 
    
-  Test for open circuit or short to B+ in wiring between engine control 
module and contact 2 on harness connector for fuel injector being 
tested.

-  Lift fuel rail off intake manifold together with fuel 
injectors and support the fuel rail. 
     
Note:  
     
After lifting off the fuel rail, check to make sure 
that the injectors are properly secured to the 
fuel rail. 
     It is possible that some of the fuel injectors will 
become detached from the fuel rail and remain 
in the intake manifold when the fuel rail is 
removed. If this happens, install the fuel 
injectors back onto the fuel rail   Page 24

 . 
    
WARNING! 
Make sure test box is inside of passenger compartment.  -  Connect test box VAG 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control 
unit. Do not connect to the engine control module itself   Page 24

Checking for leaks  
     
-  Bridge sockets 1 and 65 on the test box using 
test leads from VAG1594 A connector test kit. 
(This creates an Ground (GND) connection to 
one side of the fuel pump relay coil.) 
     
Note:  
     Once the socket are bridged the fuel pump runs 
continuously, even if the engine is not running. 
This is because the fuel pump relay receives its 
positive voltage supply via the central electrics. 
The negative voltage supply for the fuel pump 
relay comes via the cable bridge on the test box. 
     
WARNING! 
     
Fire hazard. DO NOT smoke or work near 
heaters or have anything in the area that can 
ignite fuel! 
     
-  Check injectors fuel for leaks (visual check). 
When fuel pump is running, only 1 or 2 drops 
should escape per minute from each injector. 
     
-  If fuel loss is greater, switch off fuel pump 
(remove bridge) and replace faulty injector

WARNING! 
Make sure test box is inside of passenger compartment. 
The fuel pump should run.  -  Connect one fuel injector terminal to engine Ground (GND) using test 
cable and crocodile clamp from VAG1594 connector test kit. 
-  Connect second fuel injector terminal to B+ using remote control 
VAG1348/3 A, adapter cable VAG1348/3-2 and auxiliary cable. 
-  Bridge sockets 1 and 65 on the test box using test leads from 
VAG1594 A connector test kit. (This creates an Ground (GND) 
connection to one side of the fuel pump relay coil.)

-  Repeat test for fuel injectors from second bank 
of cylinders. 
     
-  If measured values for all fuel injectors are 
outside tolerance range (specification), check 
fuel pressure   Page 24
-33
 . 
     
Note:  
     When checking the injection quantity, also check 
the spray pattern. The spray pattern should be 
the same for all the injectors. 
      Installation of the fuel rail together with injectors 
is performed in the reverse sequence. The 
following points should be noted when installing:  
     
Replace O-rings at all opened connections. 
(When replacing the front O-ring, make sure 
not to remove the plastic cap from the 
injector head. The O-ring must be pulled off 
over the plastic cap.) 
     Moisten O-rings with clean engine oil.

Checking activation  
    
Note:  
Diode test lamps with a low current draw do not go out completely but 
continue to glow faintly until the starter is operated. 
If the diode test lamp does not light up, test the wiring as follows:  -  Connect diode test lamp VAG1527 between B+ and contact 16 on 
relay panel (Ground connection via engine control module). 
-  Operate starter briefly. 
-  The diode test lamp should light up and remain lit when the starter is 
operated. 
-  If activation, wiring and power supply for fuel pump relay are OK but 
fuel pump relay still does not pick up, replace fuel pump relay. 
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness for engine control 
module. Do not connect to the engine control module itself   Page 24

16 on relay panel and socket 65 on the test box, 
then test wiring for open circuits. 
     
-  Rectify open circuit if necessary.
