Clean Working Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle and 2013 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 "6 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. Use a lint-free cloth.
- Carefully cover or plug unpacked components if repairs cannot be performed immediately.
- Install only clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
- When the fuel system is open: avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
- Protect the disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect when they are dry.
