Note. Proceed as follows to fit the adapter 1318/20 -2- to the scavenging valve: Turn the valve -4- anti-clockwise at the T-piece until the valve is closed. Place the adapter on the scavenging valve and use the knurled nut -3- to fit the adapter in a clockwise direction until the adapter is attached securely to the scavenging valve. To open the scavenging valve, turn the T-piece of the valve clockwise (the fuel is released immediately and flows out via the adapter 1318/20). If the T-piece touches the intake-air distributor when you turn it, shorten the cross-pin of the T-piece slightly so that it has sufficient clearance. The adapter 1318/20 includes a hose connection 1318/20-1 -1-, to which a suitable fuel hose can be fitted using a screw-type clamp. (Scheme 11)

3. Fit adapter 1318/20 to the scavenging valve (valve closed) -1-. Fit the tool set VAG 1318 to the adapter and support pressure gauge on the bonnet lock -3-.

Fit hose connection 1318/20-1 -4- to the stop-cock and route a suitable fuel hose into a measuring cup using a clamp. The tool must be assembled as shown. (Scheme 12)

Scheme 13

Scheme 13

Note. The steady-state pressure must be greater than 3.0 bar after 10 minutes.

4. Screw the valve (T-piece) in clockwise at the adapter 1318/20. Set the stop-cock under the pressure gauge VAG 1318 to flow direction. Switch on both fuel pumps for a short time using the adapter P 9479 in order to rinse out the air. Close the stop-cock under the pressure gauge VAG 1318 (stop-cock is positioned at a right angle to the flow direction). Switch on both fuel pumps using the adapter P 9479 and read the pressure on the pressure gauge. The fuel pressure should be approx. 4.0 bar. Then switch off both fuel pumps and check the steady-state pressure. The fuel pressure must not drop below 3.0 bar after 10 minutes.
