Component Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
Dirt on injection system components (intake manifold injection and direct fuel injection system)
- Material damage
- Rough-running engine
- Bad exhaust emissions
→ Thoroughly clean connection points and adjacent areas before loosening them. If the engine is very dirty, wash it before starting disassembly work.
→ Lay removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use a clean, lint-free cloth.
→ Carefully cover components or seal them if repair work will not be carried out immediately. Place rubber caps on connections. Seal intake openings with film or adhesive tape.
→ Only install clean parts. Do not take spare parts out of the packaging until just before installation.
→ Never use compressed air when the system is open. Do not move the vehicle.
Information
- Always perform a leak test in the high-pressure area after opening the fuel system.
- This is particularly important if components are disassembled and replaced.
- Coat the threaded connections of the fuel lines with Microgleit DF977 lubricant (Part No. 000.043.209.35) before screwing them on again.
- Always allow a drying time of about 15 minutes for the lubricant!
- Blow residual fuel out of the lines and high-pressure pump into a fuel-resistant container or c loth using compressed air (1 bar) before installation.
- The tightening specifications must be strictly observed.
