WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Audi Q5, 2015 Audi Q5, and 2014 Audi Q5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Even Very Small Particles of Dirt Can Cause a Fault. When Working on the Fuel Supply and on the Fuel Injection System, Observe the Following Guidelines for a Clean Working Environment:
- Before loosening, the connection points 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 clean plugs, for example, taken from Engine Bung Set VAS6122.
- Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them with 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 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 any disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture and connect them only when they are completely dry.
