Residual pressure and fuel pressure regulator - check  
Special tools and workshop  
equipment required  
♦ Pressure gauge -VAG  
1318-  
♦ Adapter -VAG 1318/9-  
♦ Adapting set -VAG  
1318/17-  
♦ Connector -VAG 1318/23-

2.2.1  
Pressure - check  
Note  
The fuel pressure regulator establishes the approx. pressure  
of 3.0 bar for vehicles manufactured until May/2006 and 4.0  
bar for the ones produced as of June/2006.  
The fuel pressure regulator is on the Fuel pump (pre-supply  
pump) -G6- .  
2.2.2  
Checking process  
– Remove fuse holder cover.  
– Remove fuse 33 from the ( Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -  
G6- ) fuse holder.

WARNING  
Fuel system is under pressure! Wear protective goggles and  
clothing, so as to avoid serious injuries and contact with the  
skin. Before loosening tube junctions, place a cloth around the  
union point. Then, eliminate pressure by pulling the flexible  
tube off carefully.  
– Disconnect fuel hose coupling-1- and clean the spilled fuel  
with a cloth.  
Note  
To unblock the fuel hose coupling, press the safety key.  
– Install the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318 - with the Adapters -  
VAG 1318/9- and Adapting set -VAG 1318/17- .  
– Open the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- valve. The valve indi‐  
cates the flow direction.  
– Put fuse 33 ( Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -G6- ) in the fuse  
holder again.  
– Start engine and let it run in idle speed.  
– Measure fuel pressure. Nominal value: 3.0 bar for vehicles  
lk  
manufactured until May/2006 and 4.0 bar for the ones pro‐  
duced as of June/2006.  
If the nominal value is not obtained:  
– Turn the ignition off.  
– Verify Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -G6- ⇒ page 77 check  
valve.  
If nominal value is obtained:  
– Turn the ignition off.  
– Check tightness and residual pressure (of the whole system).  
To do so, check the pressure drop on the Pressure gauge -  
VAG 1318- . After 10 minutes, there must still be a positive  
pressure of at least 2.0 bar.  
If retaining pressure drops below 2 bar:  
– Start the engine and run it at idle speed.

– Switch ignition off, after pressure has been created. At the  
same time, it is necessary to close the Pressure gauge -VAG  
1318- valve (valve transverse to the passage direction  
-arrow-)  
– Check pressure drop on the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- .  
lk  
If pressure keeps dropping:  
– Check Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- pipes to the Fuel pump  
(pre-supply pump) -G6- .  
– Check the tightness of the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- .  
If the pressure does quit dropping:  
– Check sealing rings between fuel distributor and injection  
valves and the hose between Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- and  
fuel distributor.  
Note  
Before removing the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- , place again  
cloths around the hose connections.

Check conditions  
Retention valve for Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -G6- OK,  
check ⇒ page 77 .  
2.2.5  
Checking process  
– Turn the ignition off.  
– Remove fuse holder cover.  
– Remove fuse 33 from the ( Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -  
G6- ) fuse holder.  
– Connect the Remote control -VAG 1348/3A- and Adapter ca‐  
ble -VAG 1348/3-2- to the lower contact of fuse 33 for activat‐  
ing the Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -G6- and to the positive  
terminal of Battery -A- (+).  
WARNING  
Fuel system is under pressure! Wear protective goggles and  
clothing, so as to avoid serious injuries and contact with the  
skin. Before loosening tube junctions, place a cloth around the  
union point. Then, eliminate pressure by pulling the flexible  
tube off carefully.  
– Loosen supply pipes -1- from fuel filter outlet.  
– Return pipes-2- (blue), keep connected.  
– Fuel filter-3- with inlet hose.

– Fuel supply pipes (from filter outlet to engine)-4-, connect to  
lk  
the measuring equipment outlet.  
Note  
For that, press the keys on hose connectors.  
– Connect Pressure gauge -VAG 1318 - with Adapting set -VAG  
1318/17- and Connector -VAG 1318/23- as illustrated.  
– Close the valve on the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- (trans‐  
verse valve in relation to the flow direction in position -B-).  
– Activate the Remove control -VAG 1348/3A- for approximately  
10 seconds to fill up the fuel filter and generate system pres‐  
sure of around 3.0 bar for vehicles manufactured until May/  
2006, and 4.0 bar for those produced as of June/2006.  
– Check pressure drop on the Pressure gauge -VAG 1318- . Af‐  
ter 10 minutes, the pressure cannot drop below 2.0 bar.  
If the pressure keeps dropping:  
– Check tube connections for leaks.  
If no faults are found in the pipes:  
– Replace fuel pressure regulator.
