Note:

Engine speed in display field 1 (actual engine
speed) is the current engine speed.
Engine speed in display field 2 (specified
engine speed) is a theoretical engine speed
calculated by the ECM.
At idle, the ECM always attempts to adapt the
engine speed (actual) to the specified engine
speed (specified).
This means that the engine speed (actual) must
always approximately match the engine speed
(specified) at idle.
Display fields 3 and 4 provide information, but
are not relevant for checking idle speed.
If specified value is obtained:

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.

Checking system pressure

- Open fuel filler flap briefly (pressure release).

WARNING!
Fuel system is under pressure! Before opening system, place rags
around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully
loosening connection. - Remove engine cover (arrows).

- Open threaded connection (arrow) and catch exiting fuel using a rag.
- Connect VAG1318 pressure gauge in supply line using adapters
1318/11, 1318/12 and 1318/13.

- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction
of flow.
- Start engine and let run at idle.
- Measure fuel pressure.

Specification: about 3.5 bar positive pressure

- Disconnect vacuum hose at fuel pressure regulator.

Fuel pressure must rise to about 4.0 bar positive pressure.
- Switch ignition off.
- Check for proper seal and residual pressure by observing pressure
drop on pressure gauge.
After 10 minutes, there must be at least 2.5 bar positive pressure

If residual pressure sinks below 2.5 bar positive
pressure:

- Start engine and let run at idle.

If pressure does not drop now:
If pressure drops again:
If pressure does not drop now: - 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-).
- Observe pressure drop on pressure gauge.
- Test check-valve on Fuel Pump (FP).
- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction
of flow.
- Start engine and let run at idle.
- Wait until pressure has dropped, and then switch off ignition.
Simultaneously clamp return line (with blue marking) completely
closed.
- Replace fuel pressure regulator

Checking internal resistance

- Remove engine cover (arrows).
- Disconnect harness connector at the fuel injector to be tested.

If specified value is not obtained:
If specified value is obtained: - Connect multimeter at valve for resistance measurement.

Specification: 12 to 13 (at room temperature)
- Replace fuel injector.
- Check voltage supply

- Activation of fuel injectors, checking

Checking activation

Test requirement:

Internal resistance of valve OK

- Slide back rubber grommet of fuel injector
connector, but leave connector connected.

Note:
Voltage testers do not go out completely during low current pick-up
between activations by the ECM, but rather continue to glow a little and
then get slightly brighter during activation. - Connect VAG1527B voltage tester between sockets 2 (signal) and 1
(B+).
- Operate starter briefly (engine can also start).

LED must blink.

Checking Proper Seal

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

- Switch ignition on.


Fuel Pump (FP) must run.
