Safety precautions


WARNING!

Fire hazard! Do not smoke, work near heaters
or open flame, or have anything nearby that
could ignite fuel. The fuel system is under
pressure. Before opening, cover connections
with a rag, and open carefully to release
pressure. Be alert when working on or near
the engine and ignition wires. High secondary
ignition voltage can cause serious personal
injury and damage vehicle components.

DO NOT touch or disconnect ignition system
wires when the engine is running or being
cranked at starting RPM.
DO NOT operate starter if fuel injectors are
removed.

Be sure the ignition is switched OFF, when:
Disconnecting or connecting the battery,
ignition wires, or test equipment leads
Disconnecting fuel injection system wiring
Washing the engine or engine
compartment.

CAUTION!

BEFORE disconnecting the battery:

Stop the engine.
Be sure the ignition is switched OFF (also
applies when connecting the battery). Failure
to do so may damage the Engine Control
Module (ECM).
Be sure of the proper radio code (for vehicles
equipped with coded anti-theft radio).

Be sure the battery negative (-) cable is
disconnected, when:
Working on the electrical system
Resistance (spot) welding or electric arc
welding anywhere on the vehicle.

When connecting and disconnecting
electrical test equipment (LED voltage tester,
multimeter, etc.):
Be sure the ignition is switched OFF.
Use correct adapters from the VW 1594

Fuel injection system, servicing

Servicing ignition system:

Repair Group 28

Notes:

Fuel hoses in the engine compartment must be
secured with spring-type clamps. Screw-type
clamps or equivalent must not be used.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has On
Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability, and is
equipped with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
memory. Before repairing or adjusting any
components or systems, first check DTC
memory. Also check all vacuum connections for
leaks ("false air").
For proper operation of electrical and electronic
components, a Battery Positive Voltage (B+)
supply of at least 11.5 volts is required.
Do not use any gasket sealers or other
automotive chemical compounds that contain
silicone. Traces of silicone drawn into the
engine pass unburned into the exhaust and can
damage the oxygen sensors.
