- When the vacuum hose is re-connected the fuel
pressure should drop by around 0.5 bar.

If the pressure does not change as specified,
carry out the following tests:


Check vacuum hose for cracks and other
damage.

Test vacuum hose for blockages at intake
manifold. To do this, disconnect hose at fuel
pressure regulator and blow into it.

- If there are no leaks and no blockages in the
vacuum hose, install new fuel pressure
regulator.

- Replace hose clamp that secures vacuum hose
to the fuel pressure regulator and make sure
that new clamp is properly installed.

Checking residual fuel pressure

- Residual pressure 10 minutes after switching off
engine (minimum pressure)

With engine cold: at least 2.2 bar

Note:
A rise in pressure (due to fuel expansion) when
the engine is at operating temperature is normal.

- Start the engine and run at idling speed.

- Switch ignition off after the pressure has built-
up. At the same time close pressure gauge cut-
off tap (lever at 90 to through flow direction). If the pressure does not drop, the following faults
are possible:

Union between pressure gauge and fuel supply
pipe leaking
Supply pipe leaking at fuel tank
Return valve in fuel pump leaking

gauge will indicate the pressure downstream of

the cut-off tap, i.e. on the same side as the intake
manifold, injectors and fuel pressure regulator. If
there is then a drop in pressure upstream of the
cut-off tap (same side as fuel tank), the change
will not be registered by the pressure gauge. This
is why the paragraph beginning "If the pressure
does not drop..." has been included above.

If the pressure drops again, the following
malfunctions are possible:

Fuel pressure regulator faulty
Fuel Injectors leaking
Unions on pressure gauge downstream of cut-
off valve leaking

Note:
When disconnecting the pressure gauge, close
the cut-off valve, unscrew the union on adapter
VAG 1318/15, then open the cut-off valve to
drain off excess fuel into a suitable container.

Fuel injectors, checking


A - Electrical testing of fuel injectors

- Disconnect harness connector from injector to
be tested.

Note:
When the engine is at operating temperature the electrical resistance of
the injectors will be about 4 - 6 . higher.
If the specification is not obtained: - Connect hand-held multimeter to fuel injector (resistance measurement
range).

Specified value: 13.5 - 15.5 - Replace fuel injector Page 24

- Switch ignition on. The diode test lamp should
light up.

- If diode test lamp does not light up, test for open
circuits in wiring between contact 1 and fuse for
injectors. If necessary, rectify open circuit.

Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting &
Component Locations
- If diode test lamp lights up, test activation of
injectors.

C - Testing activation of injectors

- Remove plug connector from the injector which
is to be tested.

Specified value: the diode test lamp should start flashing.
Note:
Diode test lamps with a low current draw continue to glow faintly between - Connect diode test lamp VAG 1527 between the battery positive
terminal (+) and contact 2 on the connector.
- Operate starter for a few seconds (the engine can be allowed to start).
