SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Note the following when working on the fuel system

WARNINGThere is a risk of injury because the fuel is under very high pressure. Before opening high pressure area of the fuel injection system, fuel pressure must be relieved to residual pressure. To reduce remaining residual pressure, lay a clean cloth around the connector and carefully loosen connector.

Procedures before opening high pressure fuel injection system. Refer to BEFORE OPENING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM .

WARNINGBurn risk due to escaping fuel. Because the transfer fuel pump -G6- runs briefly when the battery is connected and the driver door is opened, the voltage supply to the fuel pump control module -J538- must be disconnected before opening the fuel system.
CAUTIONRisk of destroying electrical components when battery is disconnected. Observe measures when disconnecting battery. Only disconnect battery with ignition switched off.

CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS

Even a little contamination can lead to faults. Observe the following guidelines for cleanliness when working on the fuel system, injection system and turbocharger

  1. Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.
  2. Seal the open lines and connections immediately with clean plugs, for example, from the engine bung setVAS 6122.
  3. Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them with lint-free cloths.
  4. Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.
  5. Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored out of their original packaging (for example in tool boxes etc.).
  6. If system is open, do not work with compressed air and do not move the vehicle.
  7. Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.

PREVENTING PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO INJECTION AND IGNITION SYSTEMS

To prevent personal injury and damage to the injection and ignition system, observe the following

  1. Do not touch or disconnect ignition coils with power output stages when engine is running or turning at starting RPM.
  2. The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting injection and ignition system wiring or tester cables.
  3. If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (for example for compression testing), disconnect connectors from ignition coils and from fuel injectors. After performing work, check and erase DTC memory.
  4. Only clean engine with ignition switched off.
  5. If electrical connectors were disconnected, faults are saved in ECM

Connect Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information SystemVAS 5051B.

Start "Guided Functions" operating mode.

Generate readiness code in ECM.

TEST AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS DURING TEST DRIVE

If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following

Scheme 56

Scheme 56: TEST AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS DURING TEST DRIVE
WARNINGDistraction and improperly secured test equipment can lead to accidents. Risk of passenger airbag deploying in an accident. Operating testing and measuring equipment while driving creates a distraction. There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing and measuring equipment. TT Coupe: Always secure testers on the rear seat with a strap and have a second person on the rear seat operate them. TT Roadster: Position passenger's seat as far back as possible. Only use the vehicle diagnosis and service systemVAS 5052 or diagnostic systemVAS 5053. Testing and measuring instruments -1- must lay flat on the passenger's thighs and be operated by him or her, as shown in the illustration.

COOLING SYSTEM

Note the following when working on the cooling system

WARNINGRisk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant. When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. To reduce pressure, cover coolant reservoir cap with cloth and carefully open.

BEFORE OPENING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

  1. The fuel injection system is separated into a high-pressure section (maximum approximately 120 bar) and a low-pressure section (approximately 6 bar).
  2. Before a component in the fuel injection system high pressure area is remove, the fuel pressure must be definitely reduced to a residual pressure of approximately 6 bar, as described in the following.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Display on VAS 5051B

With the engine still running, check the fuel pressure in fuel system display -3

  1. The fuel pressure decreases rapidly because the mechanical high pressure pump is no longer supplied with fuel by the electrical fuel pump.

Switch the ignition off as soon as the fuel pressure drops below 8 bar.

Note. The fuel pressure must not drop below 6 bar, because otherwise the engine will shut off (risk of catalytic converter damage).

The fuel rail will continue to be filled with fuel, but it will no longer be under high pressure.

WARNINGDo not let fuel come into contact with skin. Wear protective eyewear and clothing when opening the fuel system. Lay clean cloths around the connection before opening the high pressure area to collect any fuel that leaks out.

Loosen the wire at a connection immediately.

Note. If the high pressure system is not opened immediately, the pressure will increase because of post-heating.

Final procedures

Insert fuse 6 (on fuse panel F) -SF6-.

Connect the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information systemVAS 5051B while the ignition is switched off.

Start "Guided Functions" operating mode.

Generate the readiness code in the engine control module.

ENGINE CONTAMINANTS

  1. To prevent foreign objects from entering when working on the engine, seal open intake and exhaust channels with suitable plugs, for example from the engine bung setVAS 6122.
  2. If mechanical damage to a cylinder bank is found, check the intake and exhaust tract and the combustion chambers in the opposite cylinder back for foreign objects to prevent further damage.

CONTACT CORROSION!

Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.

For this reason, only install connecting elements that are treated with a special coating.

Also, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive consist of non-conductive materials.

If there are doubts about the suitability of parts, generally use new parts.

Note. Only original replacement parts are recommended, they are checked and compatible with aluminum. Audi accessories are recommended. Damage due to contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.

LINES, ROUTING AND SECURING

  1. Mark the individual fuel, hydraulic and vacuum lines for the EVAP canister system as well as the electrical wires before disconnecting and/or removing them. This will prevent a mix-up when reconnecting them. If necessary, draw sketches or take pictures.
  2. Due to the limited space inside the engine compartment, be especially careful when working near moving or hot parts. This will also prevent damaging the lines.

COOLERS, CONDENSERS AND CHARGE AIR COOLERS, INSTALLING

When assembled correctly, the radiator, condenser and turbocharger may have slight impressions on their fins. This is not damage. Do no replace the cooler, condenser or turbocharger because of impressions like that.

FUEL SYSTEM, CHECKING FOR LEAKS

Let the engine run a few minutes at a moderate speed.

Switch off ignition.

Check the entire fuel system for leaks.

If there are leaks in spite of correct tightening specifications, the corresponding component must be replaced.

Then perform a road test and depress the accelerator pedal all the way at least one time.

Then check the high pressure area again for leaks.

VACUUM SYSTEM, CHECKING

Special tools and workshop equipment required

  1. Hand Vacuum Pump VAS 6213

Procedure

Check all vacuum lines in the vacuum system for

  1. Cracks
  2. Damage caused by animals
  3. Crimps
  4. Leaks and leakage

Check the vacuum line leading and to and from the solenoid valve.

If there is a fault, check the vacuum lines for the named component, but also all the vacuum lines.

If using the VAS 6213 does not produce any pressure or if the pressure drops again right away, then check the hand vacuum pump and the connection hoses for leaks.
