3.1  
Rules for cleanliness  
Even small amounts of contamination/soiling can lead to de‐  
fects. You must therefore comply with the following rules for  
cleanliness when working on the fuel supply system, injection  
system and turbocharger:  
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area  
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly  
before opening.  
♦ Seal open pipes and connections immediately with clean  
plugs for example from the engine bung set -VAS 6122-.  
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface. Cover with lint-free  
cloths only.  
♦ If repair work cannot be performed immediately, carefully  
cover or seal components.  
♦ Install clean components only: do not remove replacement  
parts from packing until immediately before installing. Do not  
use parts that have been stored outside their packaging (e.g.  
in tool boxes).  
♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air  
or move the vehicle.  
♦ Make sure that no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. Should this  
occur, the fuel hoses must be cleaned immediately.  
♦ Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and wa‐  
ter, and reconnect them only when dry.  
3.2  
Foreign objects in engine  
♦ To prevent the ingress of foreign bodies during work on  
the engine, seal open channels of the intake and exhaust  
sections with suitable bungs, for example from the engine  
bung set -VAS 6122-.  
3.3  
Contact corrosion  
Contact corrosion can occur if non-approved fasteners are used  
on the vehicle (bolts, nuts, washers etc.).  
For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface  
coating have been fitted.  
In addition, rubber, plastic and adhesives are made of non-con‐  
ductive materials.  
If there is any doubt about the suitability of parts, a general rule  
is to use new parts ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA).  
3.4  
Routing and attachment of lines  
♦ To prevent interchanging and to maintain the original instal‐  
lation position, mark fuel lines, vacuum lines, pipes/hoses  
for activated charcoal filter system and electrical wiring etc.

before removal. Make sketches or take photographs if nec‐  
essary.  
♦ To avoid damage to lines, ensure adequate clearance from  
all moving or hot components in the engine compartment on  
account of the confined space.  
3.5  
Fitting radiator and condensers  
Even if installed correctly, the radiator, the condenser and the  
charge air cooler may have small dents in their fins. This does  
not mean that these components have been damaged. It is  
not permissible to renew radiators, condensers or charge air  
coolers only because of such minor dents.  
3.6  
Checking vacuum system  
Special tools and workshop equipment required  
♦ Hand operated vacuum pump -VAS 6213-  
Sequence of operations  
– Check all vacuum lines throughout entire vacuum system  
for:  
♦ Cracks  
♦ Marten bites  
♦ Crushing  
♦ Porous areas and other leaks  
– Check vacuum line to solenoid valve and from solenoid  
valve to relevant component.  
– If a fault has been entered in the event memory, make sure  
to check not only all vacuum lines leading to the specified  
component, but also those leading to other components.  
– If pressure cannot be built-up using hand vacuum pump  
-VAS 6213- or pressure immediately drops again, check  
hand vacuum pump and connecting hoses for leaks.
