Clean Working Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. 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 the connection locations and the area around them before loosening.
- Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them using lint free cloths.
- Carefully cover or seal, unpacked components if repairs cannot be performed 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 a tool box, etc.).
- When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
