13 53 334 Removing and installing/replacing pressure line between rail and high pressure pump (N20 hybrid drive)

WARNING: High-voltage system - danger to life 
Compliance with the following points is mandatory before beginning work:
WARNING: Observe warning on cylinder head cover.
Disconnect NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL (risk of fire due to short-circuiting on removal).
Electric fuel pump starts up automatically when door is opened!
Carry out installation work on fuel system only with coolant temperature below 40°C.

Attention! 

Wear full face guard and protective gloves.

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

Attention! 

Adhere to conditions of absolute cleanliness when carrying out repair work on the high-pressure fuel system!

Introduced contaminants can cause malfunctions in the system!

Attention! 

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.

Recycling: 

Fuel escapes when fuel lines are detached.

Catch and dispose of escaping fuel in a suitable container.

Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.
