1.1 Safety precautions when working on fuel supply system

Risk of injury due to highly-pressurised fuel.
The fuel system is pressurised. Injury possible due to fuel which
may spurt out.
Before opening the fuel system:
– Wear eye protection.
– Wear protection gloves.
– Release pressure: place clean cloth around connection and
carefully open connection.
Risk of fire due to escaping fuel

If the battery is connected, the door contact switch will activate
the fuel pump when the door is opened. Escaping fuel may ignite
and cause a fire.
– Disconnect the fuel pump from the power supply before open‐
ing the fuel system.
1.2 Safety precautions for working on vehicles with start-stop system.

Risk of injury due to unexpected engine start-up
In the case of vehicles with activated Start/Stop system, the en‐
gine may start up unexpectedly. The status of the Start/Stop
system is indicated by a message in the dash panel insert.
– Deactivate the start-stop system. Turn the ignition off.
1. Security standards 1
León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
1.3 Safety precautions during road tests in which testing and measuring equip‐
ment is used
There is a risk of injury due to unsafe test and measuring equip‐
ment.
If a front passenger airbag is triggered during an accident, unse‐
cured test and measuring equipment can become dangerous
projectiles.
– Secure test and measuring equipment with seat belts on the
rear seat.
or
– Have a second person operate test and measuring equipment
on the rear seat.
1.4 Safety precautions when working on the cooling system

Risk of scalding due to hot coolant
The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is hot. Hot
steam/hot coolant can escape - risk of scalding.
– Reduce pressure: Place a cloth over the cover plate of the
coolant expansion tank and open carefully.
1.5 Safety precautions when working on ignition system

Risk of injury due to electric shock
The ignition system is under high-voltage when the engine is run‐
ning. Touching the ignition system may result in an electric shock.
– Do not touch or disconnect ignition cables when the engine is
running or being turned at starter speed.
Risk of damage to components

If the engine is washed while running and if electric cables are
connected or disconnected, components may become damaged.
– Switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting elec‐
tric cables.
– Also, switch off the ignition before washing the engine.

⇒ “2.1 Engine identification number/engine data”, page 4
2.1 Engine identification number/engine da‐

ta
The engine code and the engine number can be found on the
sticker -arrow- on the upper toothed belt guard.
The engine code is also on the vehicle data plate and on the
crankcase above the gearbox.
The engine number consists of up to 9 characters (alphanumeric).
The first part (3 identification letters max.) makes up the “engine
code”; the second (6 characters) the “serial number”. If more than
999 999 engines were produced with the same code letters, the
first of the 6 digits is replaced by a letter.
Engine codes
Starting with the letter “C”, new four digit engine codes have been
introduced. The first 3 positions describe the mechanical structure
of the engine and are, as they have been done to date, engraved
on the engine. The fourth position digit describes the engine pow‐
er and torque and depends on the engine control unit - J623- .
The four-digit engine codes are given on the model plate, the ve‐
hicle data plate and the engine control unit.

3.1 Cleaning rules

Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. When work‐
ing on fuel supply system, injection system and on turbocharger
system, pay careful attention to the following rules for cleanliness:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Immediately seal open lines and connections with clean plugs,
for example from engine bung set - VAS 6122- .
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them up.
Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ If repairs cannot be completed in one session, all parts and
components that are left open should be covered or stored
with the greatest of care.
♦ Only install clean parts: only take replacement parts out of their
packaging immediately before installation. Do not use any
parts which have been kept unpackaged (for instance in tool
boxes etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
♦ Make sure that no fuel runs onto the fuel hoses. Should this
occur, the fuel hoses must be cleaned again immediately.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.
3.2 General notes

♦ The engine control unit is equipped with self-diagnosis. Before
carrying out repairs and fault finding, the event memory must
be interrogated. Also the vacuum hoses and connections must
be checked (unmetered air).
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Do not use sealant with silicone content Traces of silicone
components sucked into the engine are not burned and dam‐
age the lambda probe.
♦ The vehicles are fitted with a crash fuel shut-off system. It re‐
duces the danger of a vehicle fire after a crash as the fuel
pump isrespect

in this document.
♦ At the same time, this system also improves the engine's start‐
ing performance. When the driver's door is opened, the fuel
pump is activated for 2 seconds in order to build up pressure
in the fuel system; always observe the relevant safety precau‐

tions
⇒ “1.1 Safety precautions when working on fuel supply sys‐
tem”, page 1 .
3.3 General repair instructions

♦ Clean tools and workbench etc. before working on the injection
system.
♦ If the high-pressure fuel lines are to be re-used, you must mark
them before removal. High-pressure pipes must always be re-
installed on the same cylinder.
♦ Position high-pressure pipes so they are free of stress. First
tighten all unions hand-tight and then tighten to torque.
♦ Never attempt to bend high-pressure fuel lines to shape.
♦ 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.
♦ All cable ties which are released or cut open when removing

3.4 Foreign particles in engine

♦ When performing assembly work on the engine, all open pas‐
sages in the intake and exhaust systems must always be
sealed with suitable plugs to prevent foreign particles from en‐
tering the engine. Use engine bung set - VAS 6122- .
♦ In the event of mechanical damage to one of the cylinder
banks, the intake and exhaust systems and combustion cham‐
bers of the opposite cylinder bank must always be examined
for foreign particles to prevent further damage occurring later.
Note
In the event of mechanical damage on turbocharger, proceed ac‐

cording to chapter
⇒ “1.2 Turbo compressor: removing and fitting”, page 203 .
3.5 Contact corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners are used (e.g.
bolts, nuts, washers, etc.).
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating have
been fitted on the vehicle.
Moreover, certain rubber or plastic parts as well as adhesives
made of electrically non-conductive materials.
Always install new parts if you are not sure whether used parts
can be re-fitted ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .
Take into account:
♦ Use only genuine parts which are tested and compatible with
aluminium.
♦ The use of genuine parts is always recommended.
♦ Damage caused by contact corrosion is not covered under
warranty.
3. Repair instructions 7
León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
3.6 Routing and attachment of pipes, hoses

and wiring
♦ In order to rule out mix-ups and ensure that lines/wires/cables/
hoses/pipe are all installed in their original position, the lines
for the fuel, hydraulic and vacuum systems and for the acti‐
vated carbon filter as well as electrical wires/cables must be
marked appropriately before they are removed. Make sketch‐
es or take photographs if necessary.
♦ To prevent damaging pipes, hoses and wiring, ensure suffi‐
cient clearance from all moving or hot components in engine
compartment (little space in engine compartment).
3.7 Installing radiators and condensers

Even when the radiator and condenser are correctly installed,
slight impressions may be visible on the fins of these components.
This does not mean that the components are damaged. If the fins
are only very slightly distorted, this does not justify renewal of the
radiator or the condenser.
3.8 Vacuum system: checking

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Hand vacuum pump - VAS 6213-
Workflow
– Check all vacuum lines in the complete vacuum system for:
♦ Cracks
♦ Traces of animal bites
♦ Kinked or crushed lines
♦ Lines porous or leaking
– Check vacuum line to solenoid valve and from solenoid valve
to corresponding component.
– If an entry is stored in the event memory, check all vacuum
lines leading to the corresponding component and also check
the remaining vacuum lines leading to other components.
– If it is not possible to build up pressure with the hand vacuum
pump - VAS 6213- or if the pressure drops again immediately,
check the hand vacuum pump and connecting hoses for leaks.

Self test of cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B-

– Operate cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- several times.
– Build up a pressure of 3.0 bar on cooling system tester .

– Observe pressure on pressure gauge of cooling system tester
for 30 seconds.
If no pressure builds up or if the pressure drops again:
There is a leak in the cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- , and
it must not be used.
Checking cooling system for leaks
• Engine at operating temperature.
CAUTION
Risk of scalding to skin and body parts.
Workflow
– Open filler cap -arrow- on coolant expansion tank.

• The pressure must not drop by more than 0.2 bar within 10 mi‐
nutes.
– If the pressure drops by more than 0.2 bar, locate and rectify

Note
♦ The pressure drop by more than 0.2 bar within 10 minutes is

caused by the coolant which cools down.
♦ The colder the engine, the lower the pressure drop.

Filling

León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
Note
♦ The water used for the mixture has a significant influence on

the affectivity of the cooling agent. The quality of water to be
used is specified since the ingredients can vary from one land
or region to another. Distilled water fulfils all requirements. For
this reason, we recommend using distilled water when mixing
coolant for topping up or replacing coolant.
♦ Use only coolant additives in accordance with the ⇒ Electronic
parts catalogue . Other coolant additives may reduce corro‐
sion protection substantially. The resulting damage could lead
to loss of coolant and subsequent severe damage to the en‐
gine.
♦ The correct coolant solution ratio helps prevent damage from
freezing and corrosion as well as scaling. These also raise the
boiling temperature. For this reason the cooling system must
be filled all year round with the correct coolant additive.
♦ Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine
reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with trop‐
ical climates.
♦ ONLY refractometer - T10007A- may be used for determining
current anti-freeze value.
♦ The frost protection must be effective down to at least -25 °C,
and approx. -36 °C in cold countries. The effectiveness of the
frost protection may only be increased if a higher level of frost
protection is required due to the climate. But only to -48 °C.
Otherwise, the cooling effect of the coolant will be impaired.
♦ The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding wa‐
ter even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. The frost
protection must be at least -25 ℃.
♦ Read off the level of frost protection on the scale for the rele‐
vant coolant additive.
♦ The temperature read off the refractometer - T10007A- equa‐
tes to the »ice flocculation point«. Ice flocculation can start
forming in the coolant below this temperature.
♦ Use only a water/anti-freeze mixture as a slip agent for coolant
hoses.

– Reconnect coolant hoses with plug-in connectors
⇒ page 191

León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
– Fill coolant expansion reservoir of -VAS 6096- with at least 8

litres of pre-mixed coolant in correct mixture ratio:
– Screw down adapter for cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274/8-
to coolant expansion tank.
– Attach cooling system charge unit - VAS 6096- to adapter -
V.A.G 1274/8- .
– Run vent hose -1- into a small container -2-.
Note
Exhaust air takes a slight quantity of coolant along with it; this
should be collected.
– Close both valves -A- and -B- (turn lever at right angles to di‐
rection of flow).
– Connect hose -3- to compressed air.
• 6 ... 10 bar of positive working pressure
– Open valve -B- by setting lever in direction of flow.

• The suction jet pump generates a vacuum in the cooling sys‐
tem. The display instrument needle must move to the green
area.
– Also briefly open valve -A- (turn lever in direction of flow) so
that hose on the coolant expansion tank of the -VAS 6096- can
fill with coolant.
– Close the valve -A- again.
– Leave valve -B- open for 2 further minutes.
• The suction jet pump will continue generating a vacuum in the
cooling system. The pointer of the indicator must remain in the
green zone.
– Close valve -B-.
• The needle on the gauge must stay in the green zone. Then
the vacuum in the cooling system is sufficient for the subse‐
quent filling.
Note
♦ If the needle does not reach the green zone, repeat the proc‐
ess.
♦ Check cooling system for leaks if the vacuum is not main‐
tained.
– Pull off compressed air hose.

– Open valve -A-.
• The vacuum in the cooling system causes the coolant to be
drawn out of the coolant expansion tank of the -VAS 6096- ;
the cooling system is then filled.
– Detach cooling system charge unit - VAS 6096- from coolant
expansion tank.

León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
– Fill coolant up to “max.” mark.

– Install noise insulation ⇒ General body repairs, exterior; Rep.

– On vehicles with auxiliary heater, switch heater on (for about
30 seconds) and then off again.
– Set temperature to “HI”.
– Switch off air conditioner compressor (press AC button).
• LED in button should not light up.
– Start the engine and allow it to run approx. 1500 rpm for a
maximum of 2 minutes.
– Top up coolant to overflow hole on expansion tank with engine
running.
– Close filler cap on coolant expansion tank (make sure it en‐
gages).
– Allow engine to run at idling speed until both large coolant ho‐
ses at radiator become warm.
– Switch off ignition and allow engine to cool down.
– Check coolant level.

• The coolant level must be between the “min. mark” and the
“max. mark” when the engine is cold.
• When the engine is at operating temperature, it is permissible
that the coolant level is at the “max.” mark or above.
– Top up with coolant again if necessary.

♦ Hose unions and air intake pipes/hoses must be free of oil and
grease when installing.
♦ Use silicone-free lubricant to install the air intake hoses.
♦ In order to avoid impermissible operation: When using com‐
pressed air to blow out the air filter housing, cover the critical
air-carrying components such as air pipes, etc. with a clean
cloth.
♦ Observe environmental requirements for disposal.
