Danger of Malfunction Caused by Debris
When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "7 rules" of cleanliness:
- Thoroughly clean the connection points and the surrounding area 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 is not performed immediately.
- Only install clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been loosely stored or unpackaged (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
- Do not work with compressed air when the system is open. Do not move the vehicle.
- Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, the fuel hoses must be cleaned again immediately.
- Protect any disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture, and only connect them when they are completely dry.
