Clean Working Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "5 rules" of cleanliness:

Thoroughly clean the connecting points and the surrounding area before loosening.
Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use lint-free cloths!
Carefully cover or seal opened components if the repair will not be done immediately.
Only install clean parts: remove replacement parts from the packaging immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
When the system is open: do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle.
