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.

1.4 Safety precautions when working on the


SCR system
When removing and installing components of the SCR system,
note the following:
♦ The tank for reducing agent must be empty when working on
the SCR system. Information on when the tank for reducing
agent has to be emptied can be obtained from the respective
work instruction. Drain tank for reducing agent ⇒ Rep. gr. 26 ;
SCR system (selective catalytic reduction) .
Automatic return of reducing agent
• After the ignition has been switched off, the reducing agent is
returned from the metering line leading to the reducing agent
injector - N474- back to the reducing agent tank.
• Before any work is done in this area, it is necessary to wait
until all the reducing agent has been returned to the tank; this
can take up to 10 minutes after the ignition is switched off.
• Similarly, it is not permissible to disconnect the battery until all
the reducing agent has been returned to the tank, i.e. 10 mi‐

1 Procedure should vehicle be misfu‐
eled
Irreversible damage to high-pressure components, especially the
high-pressure pump, can occur due to lack of lubrication through
diesel when filling the fuel tank with incorrect 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. Test sample, if unsure of fuel quality. Analyse fuel using Volkswagen AG

– Secure earth wire of fuel extractor to a bare metal part of the


body.
– Make a mark -arrow- on the hose with insulating tape at a dis‐
tance = 950 mm from end of extraction hose.

[I] Note

There is a flap on the lower end of the fuel filler neck in the fuel
tank which must not be damaged by the extraction hose. You
must therefore push hose into filler neck only as far as marking.

– Push extraction hose into fuel tank until marking on hose co‐
incides with filler neck.
– Drain fuel tank via filler neck as far as possible.
– Pull extraction hose out carefully.

5.3 Fuel hoses in the engine compartment

Note

♦ The connectors for the fuel hoses on the fuel filter -1- and fuel
temperature sender -2- have been given a 2-ribbed section
-arrow- and bite edge. This reduces the likelihood of fuel sys‐
tem leaks.
♦ When the fuel hoses are removed, the very thin sealing layer
on the inside of the fuel hoses is damaged.
♦ This damage cannot be detected with the naked eye. After
some time, it leads to leaks in the fuel system.
♦ If other components are just removed, check whether it nisAreal‐

If fuel hose still cannot be removed from the connection:


– Cut only into the textile layer of the fuel hose lengthways and
pull hose off.
• Do not cut the inner rubber layer. If the connection is damaged,
the entire component must be renewed.

[I] Note

♦ Before attaching a new fuel hose, remove grease, oil and dirt
thoroughly from the hose connection. Do not use any metal
tools to do this since they could damage the hose connection.
♦ Attach fuel hose to connection without lubricant and then se‐
cure with spring-type clip.

Repeat function “Checking electronic fuel pump(s)”
The amount of fuel delivered by the fuel pump depends on the
voltage at the fuel delivery unit.

– Therefore, also connect multimeter - V.A.G 1526- to outputs


-1 and 5- of test instrument/DSO adapter 5-pin - VAS 5565- .
Test conditions
• Ambient temperature or fuel temperature: 20°C ± 5°C.
• At a pressure of 5 ± 0.2 bar at flange output
• During the checking process, voltages ranging from 11 to 15
volts must be evident at the fuel pump. Measured at the flange
connector of the delivery unit.
– Carry out in the guided function “Checking electronic fuel

♦ Note that various fuel filters require the fuel lines be connected
to them in different ways.
♦ Mark the positions of the fuel hoses on the fuel filter, and note
them for reinstallation.
♦ The vehicle must be fuelled with the diesel fuel appropriate for
the time of the year. Summer fuel may coagulate (flock) at very
low winter temperatures.
♦ Diesel fuel sold in the summer is guaranteed to be capable of
filtration down to 0°C.
♦ Diesel fuel sold in the summer/winter transition is guaranteed
to be capable of filtration down to -10°C.

Function of suction-jet pump


The suction-jet pump operates according to the principle of fluid
entrainment: the stream of fuel from the electrical fuel pump is
passed through a nozzle in the suction-jet pump, and is thus ac‐
celerated. The accelerated stream of fuel draws off the surround‐
ing fuel and delivers it to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery
unit.
