Rules of cleanliness
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Whenever working on turbocharger systems, carefully observe the following rules of cleanliness.
- - Thoroughly clean fuel system line and hose connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.
- - Place removed components on a clean surface and cover. Use plastic sheeting or paper. Do not use fluffy rags that could leave lint!
- - Carefully cover over or seal any components that have been opened if repairs are not carried out immediately.
- - Install only clean parts:
Do not remove replacement parts from the packaging until immediately before they are to be installed. Do not use parts that have been stored without packaging (e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
- - When the fuel system is opened:
Avoid working with compressed air whenever possible. Avoid moving the vehicle if possible.
- - Make sure that Diesel fuel does not run onto coolant hoses.
Affected hoses must be cleaned immediately. Contaminated hoses must be replaced.
