Clean Working Conditions
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2013 Audi A3, 2012 Audi A3, 2011 Audi A3, 2010 Audi A3, and 2009 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Even a little contamination can lead to faults. Observe the following guidelines for cleanliness when working on the fuel system, injection system and turbocharger:
- Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.
- Seal the open lines and connections immediately with clean plugs, for example, from the engine bung set VAS 6122.
- Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them with lint-free cloths.
- Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.
- Install only clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored out of their original packaging (for example in tool boxes etc.).
- If system is open, do not work with compressed air and do not move the vehicle.
- Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.
