WARNING:

Observe warning on cylinder head cover.

Disconnect NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL (risk of fire due to short-circuiting on dismantling).

Electric fuel pump starts up automatically when door is opened!

Carry out installation work on fuel system only with coolant temperature below 40°C.

Wear full face guard and protective gloves.

Fuel can emerge spontaneously at high speed when the high pressure line is released!

IMPORTANT:

Adhere to conditions of absolute cleanliness when working on the high-pressure fuel system.

Introduced contaminants can cause malfunctions in the system!

Do not allow any dirt particles or foreign bodies to get into the system.
Remove all traces of dirt contamination before removing lines or separate components.
Use only fluff-free cloths.
Seal all fuel system openings with protective caps or plugs.

IMPORTANT: Ignition coils must not be contaminated by fuel.
The resistance of the silicone material is reduced significantly by contact with fuel, which may cause the ignition coil to fail!
Cover ignition coil with suitable means.
