Fuel System Clean Working Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Passat, 2014 Volkswagen Passat, 2013 Volkswagen Passat, and 2012 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Follow these five "rules" when working on the fuel supply/injector system:
- 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).
- When the system is open: do not work with compressed air.
- Do not move vehicle.
- Seal off any open lines and connections immediately with plugs, for example, take from Engine Bung Set VAS 6122.
- Protect the disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect when they are dry.
WARNING:
Use only the Used Oil Collection And Extraction Unit SMN372500 (Replaces VAS5190.) when extracting the E 85 - fuel type!
