Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

2 Safety information
⇒ “2.1 Safety regulations for working on fuel supply”, page 4
2.1 Safety regulations for working on fuel

supply
Caution
When performing any repair work, especially in the engine

compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped
conditions:
♦ Route all the various lines and electrical wiring so that they
are in their original positions.
♦ Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or
hot components.
♦ The fuel and the fuel lines in the fuel system can become
very hot (danger of scalding)!
WARNING
The fuel line is under pressure.

Fuel poses danger of injury to eyes and skin.
Wear protective goggles and protective clothing to avoid injury
and contact with the skin. Wrap a cloth around the connection
before loosening hose connections. Then reduce pressure by
carefully opening the connection.
When removing and installing fuel gauge sender or fuel pump

(fuel delivery unit) from a full or partly full fuel tank, observe the
following:
♦ Even before work starts, the extraction hose of a fume extrac‐
tion system which is switched on must be placed in the vicinity
of the assembly opening of the fuel tank to extract any escap‐
ing fumes. If no exhaust gas extraction system is available, a
radial fan with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be
used providing that motor is not in air flow.
♦ Prevent skin contact with fuel! Wear fuel-resistant gloves!

3 Repair instructions
⇒ “3.1 Rules for cleanliness”, page 5
⇒ “3.2 General information”, page 5
3.1 Rules for cleanliness

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, carefully follow
the “6 rules” below:
♦ Thoroughly clean all joints and surrounding areas before dis‐
mantling.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them over.
Use lint-free cloths only.
♦ Carefully cover opened components or seal them if repairs
cannot be carried out immediately.
♦ Install only clean parts; do not remove new parts from pack‐
aging until immediately before installing. Do not use parts that
have been kept unpackaged (for example in toolboxes).
♦ If system is open, do not work with compressed air. Do not
move the vehicle.
♦ Also ensure that no diesel fuel comes into contact with the
coolant hoses. Should this occur, the hoses must be cleaned
immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.
3.2 General information
3.2.1 General notes on fuel supply system
Note
♦ Hose connections are secured with either spring-type or

clamp-type clips.
♦ Always renew clamp-type clips with spring-type clips.
♦ When installing or removing spring-type clips, we recommend
using spring-type clip pliers - VAS 6340- or
♦ hose clip pliers - VAS 6362- are recommended.

3.2.2 General notes on fuel system

To prevent the high-pressure fuel pump from running while it is
empty and to ensure that the engine starts quickly after parts have
been renewed, it is important to observe the following:
♦ If fuel system components between fuel tank and fuel high-
pressure pump are removed or renewed, initial fuel filling must
be carried out.
♦ If a fuel pump, fuel line (between fuel tank and fuel high-pres‐
sure pump) or fuel filter is removed or renewed
♦ Fuel system must be bled before starting engine for first time.
♦ If the high-pressure fuel pump is removed or renewed, the fuel
system must be bled before engine is started for the first time.
♦ Initial fuel filling procedure ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
• Clean tools and workbench etc. before working on injection
system.
• Thoroughly clean all joints and surrounding areas before dis‐
mantling.
• When removing components, plug all open connections im‐
mediately with suitable, clean sealing caps.
• Do not remove sealing caps from components until immedi‐
ately prior to installation. Place removed components in new
sealable plastic bags (if available, use original packaging of
new components).
• Before installation, check injectors and their surroundings vis‐
ually; they must be undamaged and free of lint. Ensure that
the injector bore is clean.
• Only cleaning set - VAS 6811- may be used for cleaning the
sealing surface of the injector bore.
• For detailed information on how to use the cleaning set as well
as the order in which its components are applied, refer to the
⇒ operating manual provided with the cleaning set - VAS
6811- .
• If high-pressure lines are not renewed, they must be labelled
on removal. High-pressure fuel lines must always be re-instal‐
led in their original positions (i.e. on the same cylinder).
• The following components and seals/O-rings must always be
renewed when the injectors are removed and installed: “cop‐
per seal”, “O-ring for injector bore”, “O-ring for injector return
connection”, “injector return connection clip”
• The following components and seals/O-rings must always be
renewed when an injector is renewed: “copper seal”, “O-ring
for injector shaft” and “O-ring for injector return connection”
“injector return clip”
• Always fit new copper seals for the injectors. Check all new O-
rings for damage before installing. O-rings must be moist when
installed (assembly oil or clean engine oil). Use assembly tool
to install the “O-ring for injector return connection”.
• Take care not to damage the injectors when removing the old
copper seals.
• Align high-pressure lines free from tension. First tighten all
unions hand-tight and then tighten to torque.
• Never attempt to reshape high-pressure fuel lines.
• When working on any parts of the high-pressure fuel system,
tools may only be used for loosening and tightening pipe un‐

ions. All other components must always be removed and

installed by hand without using tools or other equipment.
• Disassembling individual common rail components is not per‐
mitted.
• The components should be replaced as complete units if faul‐
ty.
• Never attempt to bleed the common rail system by loosening
high-pressure components after starting the engine.
• Do not carry out any installation work on common rail system
whilst engine is running.
• In particular, do not open or release high-pressure lines and
electrical connectors.
• All cable ties which were opened or cut open during removal
must be replaced with new ties in same position during instal‐
lation.
• When the fuel system is open: do not work with compressed
air if this can be avoided. Try not to move the vehicle.
• Also ensure that no diesel fuel comes into contact with the
coolant hoses. Should this occur, the hoses must be cleaned
immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.

eled
⇒ “1.1 Procedure should vehicle be misfueled”, page 8
1.1 Procedure should vehicle be misfueled

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Fuel identification unit - VAS 6774-
Note
♦ Misfuelling can cause irreversible damage to the high-pres‐

sure components, particularly the high-pressure pump, due to
the lack of lubrication otherwise provided by diesel fuel.
♦ Damage due to seizure and metal particles can be expected.
♦ These particles can also cause further damage in the pressure
control valve and injectors.
♦ If in any doubt regarding the fuel quality, take a sample and
analyse the fuel with the fuel analysis unit - VAS 6774- ⇒ op‐
erating instructions .
♦ The fuel analysis unit - VAS 6774- is no substitute for a labo‐
ratory test in warranty cases.
These instructions are intended as a guide through the individual

work steps by means of a flowchart, while bearing various condi‐
tions in mind.

des CAAA, CAAB, CAAC, CAAD,

Note
The battery voltage and the diesel fuel temperature have a great
influence on the current draw of the fuel pump. For this reason,
ensure that the battery voltage is at least 12 V whilst checking,
and that the diesel fuel temperature in the fuel tank does not fall
to nearly the freezing point.
Test conditions
• Diesel fuel temperature above 10°C
