– Check leaktightness and while doing so observe pressure
drop at pressure gauge - VAS 6550- .
•
The pressure must not drop below 0.3 MPa (3 bar) after 10
minutes.
If the pressure again falls below 0.3 MPa (3 bar):
•
Check line connections between pressure gauge - VAS 6550-
and fuel feed line for leaktightness.
•
Check pressure gauge - VAS 6550- for leaks.
•
Check fuel lines and its connections for tightness.
If no fault is found:
♦ Non-return valve in the fuel delivery unit is leaking:
– Replace fuel delivery unit:
•
Vehicles with front-wheel drive
•
Vehicles with four-wheel drive
Assembly is carried out in the reverse order. When installing, ob‐
serve the following:
•
Ignition must be switched off.
Note
Reduce fuel pressure before removing the pressure gauge, while
doing so open the shut-off tap -C- and let the fuel drain into the
measuring vessel.
