Clean Working Conditions
Even a Little Contamination Can Lead to Faults. 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. Use a lint-free cloth.
- Carefully cover or seal opened components if repairs are not performed immediately.
- Only install clean components: Remove the replacement parts from their packaging just prior to installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored outside of their original packaging (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
- When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
- Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, wipe off the fuel hoses immediately.
- Protect the disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect when they are dry.
