DANGER!

• The mechanic may be the source for electrostatic dis‐


charge. Therefore, it is mandatory to wear protective cloth‐
ing.
• Before performing any work on the natural gas system,
always take the necessary measures to discharge any
existing static charge and to avoid electrostatic charging.
• Electrostatic discharge at the vehicle or removed natural
gas tanks is not possible.
Wear protective gloves containing cotton to avoid injuries and
static charging.
Wear Volkswagen safety shoes to avoid static charging.
Wear Volkswagen workwear which contains residual moisture
and thus also prevents electrostatic discharge.

DANGER!

Before evacuating natural gas tanks, make sure to comply with


the following rules in order to avoid hazards:
♦ Do not evacuate natural gas tanks in confined spaces.
♦ The emptying process must be carried out outdoors.
♦ Before evacuation, establish a safety zone of 10 m x 10 m.
♦ The safety zone must be permanently supervised during
the evacuation.
♦ There must be no open flame or source of ignition in the
safety zone.
♦ Ensure that there are no sources of ignition and no open
fires near the vehicle and the fuel tank.
♦ Danger of explosion!
♦ Do not touch tank shut-off valves during the evacuation:
danger of freezing injuries.
♦ When natural gas no longer escapes from fuel tank, de‐
termine the residual pressure in the natural gas tank

1.3 Safety measures when working on vehicles with a start/stop system


Risk of injury due to unexpected motor start
If the vehicle's start/stop system is activated, the engine can start
unexpectedly. A message in the dash panel insert indicates
whether the Start/Stop system is activated.
– Deactivate Start/Stop system by switching off the ignition.

1.4 Safety precautions when using testers and measuring instruments during
a road test
Risk of injury through insecure testing and measuring instruments
When the front passenger airbag is triggered in an accident, in‐
sufficiently secured testing and measuring instruments become
dangerous projectiles.
– Secure testing and measuring instruments on the rear seat.

⇒ page 10 .

5.1.2 Checking gas system for leaks


– Determine pressure in natural gas system ⇒ page 14 .
Conditions for testing
• If the actual pressure is less than the required minimum pres‐
sure of approx. 5 bar, refuel the vehicle.
• The natural gas tanks must be filled up to maximum pressure.
• However, the minimum fill level is ≥ 160 bar (80%).
• In order to avoid uncontrolled escape of natural gas after re‐
fuelling and before leakage test, pull relay for gas shut-off
valves - J908- out of relay carrier.

Note

♦ The gas shut-off valves are closed electrically upon pulling out
the relay for gas shut-off valves - J908- . The gas system can
still be filled.
♦ This will deactivate the gas system and it prevents the leakage
of larger amounts of gas through any possible leaks after the
gas system has been filled.

– Drive to the petrol station in petrol mode.

10 Rep. gr.00 - Technical data


Caddy 2004 ➤ , Caddy 2011 ➤
Fuel supply system - natural gas engines - Edition 09.2016

After refuelling
– Drive back to the workshop in petrol mode.
– Before driving the vehicle into the workshop, reactivate natural
gas mode by inserting the relay for gas shut-off valves - J908-
into the relay carrier.

Note

♦ The fuel tank shut-off valves - N361/N362/N363/N429- will be


activated for only two seconds after the ignition has been
switched on.
♦ A mechanical noise (»clicking« sound) can be heard.
♦ During actuation of the fuel tank shut-off valves - N361/N362/
N363/N429- , listen carefully for the sound of leaking gas in
the section which was repaired.
♦ If the valves for tank shut-off - N361/N362/N363/N429- are not
actuated, perform an adaption drive to activate the natural gas
system.
♦ To ensure successful results from the adaption drive, the en‐
gine must repeatedly be operated with partial load during the
drive.
♦ To check whether the natural gas system has been success‐
fully actuated, consult the fuel gauge of the natural gas system
⇒ page 14 .

• Before driving the vehicle into the workshop, listen carefully


for the sound of leaking gas.

the natural gas system. Leaks in natural gas system may
lead to uncontrolled escape of natural gas.
Risk of explosion leading to loss of life or serious injuries.
♦ Always make sure there are no possible sources of igni‐
tion close to the natural gas system.

• Heed the safety precautions ⇒ page 1 .

Note

♦ The gas leak detector can only be used to find out whether
there is any gas in the surrounding air.
♦ Any other result than a green LED for »OK« is not permitted
on the gas leak detector. If a yellow or red LED lights up, a
leak detection spray must be used to verify whether gas is
really escaping from the vehicle's natural gas system or not.
When leak detection spray is being used, it must be ensured
that no bubbles come out of the sprayed area within a testing
time of 3 minutes. Any leaks that occur must be repaired, and
the test must then be repeated.

5. Checking gas system 13


Caddy 2004 ➤ , Caddy 2011 ➤
Fuel supply system - natural gas engines - Edition 09.2016

Procedure
– Take system pressure reading using ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic
tester ⇒ page 14 .
– All connections and components which have been opened or
exchanged, must be checked with gas leak tester for natural
gas vehicles - VAS 6227- and leak detector spray.
– Guide the gas leak tester around the point to be tested (»repair
area«), and take measurements every 90° for at least 5 sec‐
onds.
– Spray the respective connection or component with leak de‐
tection spray and observe approx. 3 minutes. Ensure that
there are no bubbles.
• If the leakage test does not detect a concentration of natural
gas and consequently no gas leak, the vehicle can be taken
into operation.
• If the leakage test detects a gas leak, the cause of fault must
be determined and eliminated. The leakage test must then be
carried out again.
• The vehicle must not be handed over to the customer without
a leakage test having been performed successfully.

If no leaks could be found, or if a leak was found but rectified:


– Carefully open fuel tank shut-off valve in -direction of arrow-
using hand wheel - T50026- until natural gas escapes.
– Carefully open fuel tank shut-off valve as far as possible with‐
out triggering the »restrictor valve«.
– The fuel tank shut-off valve must not be opened completely.

Note

♦ Depending on the tank pressure, the fuel tank shut-off valve


can be opened completely.
♦ Fully opening will trigger the “restrictor valve”. Then only a
small amount of gas can escape.

If the valve has been opened too far, thus triggering the »restrictor
valve«:
– To reset the restrictor valve, the pressure must be equalised
by closing the »manual shut-off«.
– Close valve, then open it again making sure not to open it too
far this time.
– After approx. 2 minutes, the valve can be opened completely.
Continued for all:
– When natural gas no longer escapes from fuel tank, the man‐
ual shut-off valve must be closed again.
– Perform counterpressure check to ensure that the gas tank
has been sufficiently emptied ⇒ page 79 .

– Repeat counterpressure check to verify that the previous
counterpressure check has been performed correctly
⇒ page 92 .

Note

♦ Upon completion of the counterpressure check, operate the


cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- several times.
♦ No pressure must build up while doing so.
♦ Air can be heard to flow into the fuel tank.
♦ If pressure builds up, repeat the back pressure test
⇒ page 92 .

The fuel tank has been emptied sufficiently, and the pressure has
been released.
The fuel tank shut-off valve can be removed ⇒ page 63 .

WARNING

Work on the fuel tank may only be performed if the counter‐


pressure check was successful.
