-- The shut-off valves -A- and -B- are opened on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 -1-.
-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
-- Select Guided Function 01 activate fuel pump .
-- Select check fuel pump delivery pressure/delivery .
-- Follow the instructions given by the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
-- Read the fuel pressure in the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551:
- The target value is minimum 4.5 bar:
If the specification is not obtained:
-- Check the fuel lines inside the engine compartment for possible bends, blockages and damage.
-- Check the fuel lines inside the engine compartment for leaks.
If no faults are detected:
Check the fuel pressure in front of the fuel filter as follows.
Check the fuel pressure in front of the fuel filter:
-- Remove the supply line -B- and wipe up the draining fuel with a cleaning cloth. Disconnect the connector couplings. Refer to CONNECTOR COUPLINGS, SEPARATING .
Fuel lines are under pressure.
Danger of personal injury to eyes and skin.
Wear protective eyewear and protective clothing in order to avoid injury and contact with the skin. Wrap a cloth around the connection before loosening hose connections. Open the connection carefully and release the pressure.
-- Connect the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit - Hose 2 VAS 6551/2 between the fuel supply line from the fuel tank and the connection -B- on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551.
-- Connect the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit - Hose 1 VAS 6551/1 between the connection -A- on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 and the fuel line -1- to the fuel filter.
-- Press the On/Off button to switch on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551.
-- Make sure that the drain valve -C- on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 -1- is closed.
-- The shut-off valves -A- and -B- are opened on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 -1-.
-- Repeat check fuel pump delivery pressure/delivery , refer to FUEL PRESSURE, CHECKING ENGINE CODES CVCA .
If the specification is now obtained:
Check and fuel filter and replace it, if necessary. Refer to FUEL FILTER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
If the specification is not obtained:
Proceed as follows to check the fuel pressure at the fuel delivery unit.
Check the fuel pressure on the fuel delivery unit:
-- Remove the rear bench seat. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
-- Unclip the cover -1- at the tabs -arrows- using the Trim Removal Wedge 3409.
-- Remove the fuel return line -1- from the locking flange. Disconnect the connector couplings. Refer to CONNECTOR COUPLINGS, SEPARATING .
Fuel lines are under pressure.
Danger of personal injury to eyes and skin.
Wear protective eyewear and protective clothing in order to avoid injury and contact with the skin. Wrap a cloth around the connection before loosening hose connections. Open the connection carefully and release the pressure.
-- Connect the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit - Hose 1 VAS 6551/1 between the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 and the fuel supply line to the fuel filter.
-- Connect the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit - Hose 2 VAS 6551/2 between the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 and the fuel delivery unit.
-- Make sure that the drain valve -C- on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 -1- is closed.
-- The shut-off valves -A- and -B- are opened on the Diesel Pressure Tester Kit VAS 6551 -1-.
-- Repeat check fuel pump delivery pressure/delivery , refer to FUEL PRESSURE, CHECKING ENGINE CODES CVCA .
If specified value is achieved:
-- Check the fuel lines to the engine compartment for possible bends, blockages and damage.
-- Check fuel lines for leaks.
If the specification is not obtained:
-- Remove the fuel delivery unit. Refer to FUEL DELIVERY UNIT/FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Check the filter screen for dirt.
-- Check to make sure that all wires are connected properly.
-- Pull on the connections to make sure they are secure.
-- Make sure all the hoses are connected -arrows-.
If no fault was detected:
-- Replace the fuel delivery unit. Refer to FUEL DELIVERY UNIT/FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
