Clean Working Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, 2013 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "5 rules" of cleanliness:
- Always clean connecting points and surrounding areas before loosening.
- Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use lint-free cloths!
- Carefully cover or seal opened components if the repair will not be done immediately.
- Only install clean components: Remove the replacement parts from their packaging just prior to installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
- When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
