Test requirement:

Fuel pressure OK, checking Page 24

.

Test sequence

- Remove fuel distributor including fuel injectors
from intake manifold Page 24
-43
. Fuel lines
remain connected.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to ECM, do not connect ECM Page 24
-17
.

- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using
adapter cables from VAG1594A connector test
kit (this step supplies Ground -GND- to one side
of relay coil for Fuel Pump -FP- relay).

Note:
Fuel Pump (FP) relay is supplied with B+ via the
central electric (terminal 30). Fuel Pump (FP)
relay receives minus via the cable bridge in test
box. The Fuel Pump (FP) is now running
constantly.

- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires
from VAG1594A adapter test kit.


Fuel Pump (FP) must run.

- Operate VAG1348/3A remote control for 30
seconds.

- After all three fuel injectors of one cylinder row
have been activated, place measuring glasses
on an even surface.

Specified value for each fuel injector: 90 to
125 ml.

- If measured value of one or more fuel injectors
is outside of specified range, switch Fuel Pump
(FP) off (disconnect cable bridge) and replace
faulty fuel injector Page 24
-43
.

- Repeat test at fuel injectors of second cylinder
row.

- If the measured values of all fuel injectors are
outside the specified range, check fuel pressure

Intake air system, checking for leaks
(unmetered air)


Special tools and equipment

Notes:
VAS5051 with VAG5051/1
orVAG1551 with VAG1551/3BEngine leak detection spray G 001 800 A1The negative pressure in the intake system sucks in the leak detection
spray with the unmetered air. Leak detection spray decreases ignition
quality and performance of the fuel mixture. This causes a reduction in
engine speed and a sharp increase of CO content. It is absolutely necessary to follow the safety precautions listed on the
can.
