Fuel pressure regulator and residual
pressure, checking
Note:
Fuel pressure regulator regulates fuel pressure
according to intake manifold pressure. This
ensures that the pressure drop at the fuel
injectors remains the same for each speed and
load range of the engine.

WARNING!
Fuel system is under pressure! Place a cloth
around the connection point before opening
system. Then release pressure by carefully
loosening connection point.
Checking system pressure - Remove engine cover (arrows).
Note:
If fuel should escape at the vacuum connection of the pressure regulator
during the following pressure test, replace pressure regulator. - Connect VAG1318 pressure gauge using adapters
VAG1318/7, /1318/8 pressure hose with connectors and 1318/15
adapter in supply line.
- Disconnect vacuum hose from pressure regulator to intake manifold at
pressure regulator and seal line.
- Start engine and let run at idle.

- Measure fuel pressure.
Specification: 3.8 to 4.2 bar
- If the specified value is not reached, replace
pressure regulator on a trial basis and repeat
pressure test.
- If the specified value is not reached again, check
Fuel Pump (FP) or supply line for damage (e.g.
pinched areas) and replace if necessary.
- If the specified value is exceeded, check return
line for damage (e.g. pinched areas) and replace
if necessary.
Note:
During the following test, the engine must not run
for an unnecessarily long period of time with the
vacuum hose removed. Otherwise, the higher
fuel pressure can cause enrichment of the fuel to
air ratio, which under some circumstances can
cause the oxygen sensor control limits to be
exceeded, causing a DTC to be stored.
- Start engine and let run at idle.

- Fuel pressure must drop by approx. 0.5 bar
when connecting the vacuum hose.
If the pressure change does not occur, the
following tests must be performed:
Check vacuum hose for tears and
damage.
Check vacuum hose at intake manifold for
throughput by disconnecting from pressure
regulator and blowing into it.
- If no leaks can be detected and if the vacuum
hose has throughput, replace the pressure
regulator.
Checking residual pressure
- Residual pressure 10 minutes after switching
engine off (minimum pressure).
Specified value with a cold engine: approx.
2.2 bar
Specified value with the engine at operating
temperature: approx. 3.0 bar

Pressure increase for an engine at operating
temperature limited by the fuel expansion is
normal.

- Start engine and let run at idle.
The following malfunction are possible if the pressure does not drop:
Repair Manual, Fuel Supply System, Repair Group 20; Fuel supply
-
Front Wheel Drive or fuel supply
- All Wheel Drive
Note:
Pressure gauge displays the pressure behind the stopcock "intake
manifold side" after the stopcock is closed (in direction of fuel injector, fuel
pressure regulator). If the pressure drops in front of the stopcock (in
direction of fuel tank), the device cannot detect it. For this reason, the
center of this page states "If the pressure does not drop...". - Wait until pressure has dropped, and then switch off ignition.
Simultaneously close shut-off valve of VAG1318 pressure gauge (lever
perpendicular to direction of flow -arrow-).
There is a leak in the threaded connection between the pressure
gauge and the fuel supply line There is a leak at the supply line at fuel tank.There is a leak in the check valve in the Fuel Pump (FP).

The following malfunctions are possible if the
pressure drops again:
Fuel pressure regulator faulty
Fuel injectors not properly sealed
Threaded connections of pressure gauge
behind stopcock is not properly sealed.
Note:
Close stopcock for removing the pressure gauge,
loosen threaded connection at VAG1318/15
adapter and let excess fuel escape into catch
reservoir by opening stopcock.

Checking internal resistance
- Remove engine cover (arrows).
- Disconnect harness connector at the fuel injector to be tested.
With an engine at operating temperature, the resistance increases by
approx. 4 to 6 .
If specified value is not obtained: - Connect multimeter at valve for resistance measurement.
Specification: 13.5 to 15.5
- Replace fuel injector Page 24
