Guidelines For Clean Working Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. 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 "rules" of cleanliness:
- Thoroughly clean the connection points and the surrounding area before loosening.
- Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use lint-free cloths.
- Carefully cover or seal opened components if the repair is not performed immediately.
- Install only clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been loosely stored or unpackaged (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
- If the system is open: do not work with compressed air. Do not move the vehicle.
- Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, wipe off the fuel hoses immediately.
- Protect any disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture and connect them only when they are completely dry.
