High Fuel Pressure, Reducing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
WARNING:
There is a risk of injury because the fuel is under very high pressure.
- The fuel injection system is separated into a high-pressure section, a maximum of about 120 bar (1, 740 psi) and a low-pressure section of about 4 to 7 bar (58 to 101 psi).
- Before opening high pressure components, for example removing the high pressure pump, fuel rail, fuel injectors, fuel pipes or Fuel Pressure Sensor -G247-, the fuel pressure in the high pressure area must be reduced to a residual pressure of approximately 7 bar (101 psi). The procedure for this is as follows.
