Even Very Small Particles of Dirt Can Cause a Fault. Observe the following Guidelines for Cleanliness When Working on the Fuel System, Injection System and Turbocharging System:
- Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.
- Seal off any open lines and connections immediately with plugs, for example, take from Engine Bung Set :VAS6122 .
- Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use lint-free cloths!
- Carefully cover or seal opened components 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 outside of their original packaging (for example in tool boxes etc.).
- If the system is open: do not work with compressed air. If possible do not move vehicle.
- Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, wipe off the fuel hoses immediately.
- Protect any disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture and connect them only when they are completely dry.
