1.1 Safety precautions when using testers


and measuring instruments during a
road test
Please note the following if testers and measuring instruments
have to be used during a road test:
Risk of injury if test equipment is not secured
If an accident occurs and the front passenger's airbag is triggered,
test equipment which is not secured adequately may be catapul‐
ted through the vehicle with potentially serious consequences.
– Secure test equipment on the rear seat with a strap.
Or:
– Have a second mechanic operate test equipment on the rear
seat.

1.2 Safety precautions for vehicles with


start/stop system
When performing repairs on vehicles with start/stop system, note
the following:
Risk of injury - engine may start unexpectedly
The engine can start unexpectedly if the vehicle's start/stop sys‐
tem is activated. A message in the instrument cluster indicates
whether the start/stop system is activated.
– To deactivate the start/stop system, switch off the ignition.

1.3 Safety precautions when working on the


fuel system
When working on the fuel system note the following warnings:
Risk of fire due to escaping fuel
If the battery is connected, the door contact switch activates the
fuel pump when the driver's door is opened. Escaping fuel may
ignite, causing a fire.
– Before opening the fuel system, disconnect power supply to
fuel pump.

Risk of injury - fuel system operates under high pressure


The fuel system is pressurised. There is a risk of injury as fuel
may spray out.
Before opening the fuel system:
– Put on safety goggles.
– Put on protective gloves.
– Release pressure (wrap a clean cloth around connection and
open connection carefully).

If components of the fuel system between the fuel tank and the
high-pressure pump are removed or renewed, the fuel system
must be bled ⇒ page 24 .
Risk of irreparable damage to fuel pump
After working on the fuel system, the fuel pump may be irreparably
damaged if it is allowed to run while empty.
– Never allow fuel pump to run while it is empty.
– Fill/bleed fuel pump.

• Clean tools and workbench etc. before working on the injection


system.
• Clean connections and surrounding area thoroughly with en‐
gine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry cleaned area before
loosening.
• When removing components, plug all open connections im‐
mediately with suitable clean sealing caps.
• Do not remove sealing caps from components until immedi‐
ately prior to installation. Keep components that are to be re-
used in new, sealable plastic bags.
• Before installing, check the injectors and their surroundings
visually; they must be undamaged and clean. Make sure the
injector bores in the cylinder head are clean. Wipe out if nec‐
essary using a clean cloth, taking care not to cause damage.
Do not use sharp objects of any kind.

• If the high-pressure fuel lines are to be re-used, you must mark


them before removal. High-pressure pipes must always be re-
installed on the same cylinder.
• Take care not to damage the injectors when removing the old
copper seals.
• Check all new O-rings for damage before installing. Lubricate
O-rings with engine oil or assembly oil before installing.
• Position high-pressure pipes so they are free of stress. Tighten
all unions lightly to start with before tightening to final torque.
• Never attempt to bend high-pressure fuel lines to shape.
• When working on any parts of the high-pressure fuel system,
tools may only be used for loosening and tightening pipe un‐
ions. All other components must always be removed and
installed by hand without using tools or other equipment.
• Press the fuel return hoses onto the injectors by hand from
above so that they engage audibly on each injector (do not
press in the release pins when doing this). Then press down
the release pin after connecting the return line. Check that the
fuel return hoses are seated securely by pulling them by hand
from above. Also check that they seal properlyProtected

• Do not dismantle individual common rail components. If there


is a fault, the complete components must be renewed.
• When the engine is running, do not perform any repairs to the
common rail system.
• Do not bleed the common rail system by unfastening high-
pressure components after the engine has been started.
• All cable ties which are released or cut open when removing
must be refitted in the same position when installing.
• When the fuel system is open: Do not work with compressed
air if this can be avoided. If possible, do not move vehicle.
• Also ensure that no diesel fuel comes into contact with the
coolant hoses. Should this occur, the hoses must be cleaned
immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.

1.4 Safety precautions when working on the


injection and glow plug system
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection
and glow plug system, note the following:
♦ Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker must at all times main‐
tain a safe distance from high-voltage components such as
piezo systems and xenon headlights.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting tester cables or electrical wiring for the injection or
glow plug system.
♦ Do not open any fuel line connections while the engine is run‐
ning.
♦ Always switch off ignition before washing engine.
♦ Certain tests may lead to faults being detected and stored by
the engine control units. Therefore the event memory must be
interrogated after completing all tests and repair work (“Inter‐
rogate event memory”).

1.5 Safety precautions when working on the


exhaust system
Do not dismantle exhaust gas temperature sender - risk of injury.
Risk of injury when disconnecting the exhaust system
There is a risk of eye irritation caused by soot particles in the air.
– Put on safety goggles.

Danger from toxic exhaust gases


Auxiliary/supplementary heater produces toxic exhaust gases.
There is a risk of poisoning and of damage to the respiratory tract.
– In enclosed spaces, only switch on the auxiliary/supplemen‐
tary heater if there is an exhaust extraction system.
– In enclosed spaces without an exhaust extraction system,
switch off the auxiliary/supplementary heater.

5 Filling and bleeding fuel system


Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Vehicle diagnostic tester
If components of the fuel system between the fuel tank and the
high-pressure pump are removed or renewed, the fuel system
must be bled.
Risk of irreparable damage to fuel pump
After working on the fuel system, the fuel pump may be irreparably
damaged if it is allowed to run while empty.
– Never allow fuel pump to run while it is empty.
– Fill/bleed fuel pump.

Proceed as follows to fill high-pressure pump with fuel.


• Check fuel gauge in instrument cluster; fuel gauge needle
must indicate that fuel is above reserve level.
– Connect a ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
– Switch on ignition.
– Select “Engine electronics” in vehicle self-diagnosis.
– Then select “Basic setting”.
– Select “Display group 35”.
– Press “activate” button.
– The fuel pumps start running.
– The fuel pumps must run for approx. 1 minute to ensure that
the high-pressure pump is filled with sufficient fuel.
– Start engine after filling fuel system.
– Run engine at moderate speed for several minutes and then
switch off.
– Check fuel system for leaks.
– Road-test vehicle and accelerate with full throttle at least once.
– Then check high-pressure system again for leaks.

6 Checking fuel system for leaks


– Run engine at idling speed for several minutes (do not press
accelerator) and then switch off. Fuel system will bleed itself
automatically.
– Check the entire fuel system for leaks.
Renew affected component if leakage still occurs after tightening
to correct torque.
– After completing the repair, road-test the vehicle. Accelerate
with full throttle at least once. Then check the high-pressure
section of the fuel system again for leaks.

Note

If there is any air left in the fuel system, the engine may switch to
the backup mode ('emergency running' mode) during the road
test. Switch off the engine and erase the event memory. Then
continue the road test.

7.3 Removing and installing air filter ele‐


ment
Removing
– Unscrew bolts -arrows- from air cleaner (top section).

Note

Disregard items 1 to 3.

– Lift up air cleaner (top section) and take out air filter element.
Installing
To ensure the correct function of the air mass meter - G70- , it is
important to observe the following notes and instructions.

Note

♦ If the air filter element is very dirty or wet, dirt particles or water
can reach the air mass meter - G70- and falsify the detected
air mass values. This will cause a loss of power, as the cal‐
culated injection quantities will be too low.
♦ Always use genuine air filter elements (same as original equip‐
ment).
♦ Hose connections and charge air system hoses must be free
of oil and grease prior to fitting. Do not use any lubricants con‐
taining silicone when assembling.
♦ Both sections of the air cleaner housing must be clean.
♦ Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose clips
(same as original equipment) ⇒ Parts catalogue .
♦ To prevent malfunctions, cover all critical parts of the engine
air intake tract (air mass meter, intake pipes, etc.) with a clean
cloth when blowing out the air cleaner housing with com‐
pressed air.
♦ Please observe requirements for disposal.

– Remove and clean snow screen -1-.

Note

The snow screen is not installed in all vehicles.

⇒ “10.6 Removing and installing injectors”, page 54

10.1 Checking injectors


There are four different tests for checking the operation of the
injectors.
• Checking adaption of “Injector delivery calibration values” and
“Injector voltage calibration values” ⇒ page 47
• Checking for injectors sticking open ⇒ page 48
• Checking return flow rate of injectors with engine running
⇒ page 49
• Checking return flow rate of injectors at starter cranking speed
⇒ page 52
Perform the following tests first if the engine does not start at all:
♦ Checking for injectors sticking open ⇒ page 48
♦ Checking return flow rate of injectors at starter cranking speed
⇒ page 52
♦ Checking fuel pressure regulating valve - N276- ⇒ page 65

10.2 Performing adaption of correction val‐


ues for injectors
The “Injector delivery calibration” and “Injector voltage calibration”
functions serve to correct the injection rates for each cylinder of
a common rail system individually across the entire operating
range.

example) are marked separately on each injector. They may con‐
sist of letters and/or numbers (ASCII code).

Audi A3 2004 ➤ , Audi A3 Sportback 2005 ➤
TDI injection and glow plug system (4-cyl. 2.0 ltr. 4-valve common rail) - Edition 03.2018

Reference table for reading out letters and/or numbers on each


injector
When a new injector is installed, the adaption value for the new
injector must be written into the engine control unit.
When the engine control unit is renewed, the appropriate “injector
delivery calibration” values with “injector voltage calibration” val‐
ues must be written into the new control unit.
Additionally, check that the “injector delivery calibration values”
are correctly entered for all the other injectors. Do NOT attempt
to re-enter these values if the correct values are already stored in
the engine control unit.

The fuel system is self-bleeding; do not open the high-pressure


connections.

– Run engine at idling speed for several minutes and then switch
off.
– Switch off ignition.
– Check the complete fuel system including all 4 return line con‐
nections for leaks.
Renew affected component if leakage still occurs after tightening
to correct torque.

Note

The return lines can only be renewed together with the pressure
retention valve as one unit.

– After completing the repair, road-test the vehicle. Accelerate


with full throttle at least once. Then check the high-pressure
section of the fuel system again for leaks.

Note

If there is any air left in the fuel system, the engine may switch to
the backup mode ('emergency running' mode) during the road
test. Switch off the engine and erase the event memory. Then
continue the road test.

The fuel pressure regulating valve - N276- -2- is located in the


fuel rail. It maintains a constant pressure in the fuel rail and the
injector pipes (high-pressure fuel circuit).
If the pressure in the high-pressure fuel circuit is too high, the
regulating valve opens to allow some of the fuel to flow back from
the fuel rail to the fuel tank via a return line.
If the pressure in the high-pressure fuel circuit is too low, the fuel
pressure regulating valve - N276- closes and seals off the high-
pressure section of the system from the low-pressure section.

Note

Fuel pressure regulating valve - N276- must always be renewed


after it has been removed.

Removing

Note

♦ The test box has 105 sockets. The connecting cable can be
disconnected from the test box. This means that only the cable
(and not the test box) has to be purchased for future engine
control units with different types of connectors.
♦ The smaller of the two connectors on the engine control unit
has the contacts 1 to 60. The larger of the two connectors has
the contacts 1 to 94.
♦ To carry out tests on the 60-pin wiring harness connector, the
adapter cable -V.A.G 1598/39-1- is connected to connector
“A” on the test box. For components connected to 60-pin wiring
harness connector ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault
finding and Fitting locations.
♦ To carry out tests on the 94-pin wiring harness connector, the
adapter cable -V.A.G 1598/39-2- must be connected to con‐
nectors “A” and “B” on the test box. For components connec‐
ted to 94-pin wiring harness connector ⇒ Current flow
diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
♦ The test box - V.A.G 1598/42- is designed so it can be con‐
nected both to the wiring harness for the engine control unit
and to the engine control unit itself at the same time.
♦ The advantage of this is that the electronic engine control sys‐
tem remains fully functional when the test box is connected
(for example, for measuring signals when the engine is run‐
ning).
♦ The relevant test procedure will state whether it is necessary
to also connect the engine control unit to the test box.

old (defective) engine control unit, the adaption values must
be entered into the new engine control unit manually and the
adaption procedure must be performed accordingly.
♦ The engine control unit -1- is bolted to the protective housing
-5-. To make it more difficult to unscrew the shear bolts -4- for
locking plate -2-, their threads have been coated with locking
fluid.

The threads of the two shear bolts -4- which are not screwed into
the engine control unit are secured with locking fluid. To unscrew
these two bolts, the threads must therefore be heated with the hot
air blower.

The threads of the two shear bolts -3- which are screwed into the
engine control unit are not secured with locking fluid. Do not apply
heat to the threads in the control unit housing; this is not neces‐
sary and would cause overheating of the control unit.

Select settings on hot air blower as shown in illustration, i.e. set


temperature potentiometer -2- to maximum heat output and two-
stage air flow switch -3- to position 3.

WARNING

Heating the thread of the locking plate also heats up the shear
bolts and parts of the metal housing. Take care to avoid burns.
It is also important to ensure that only the thread is heated and
none of the surrounding components if at all possible. These
should be covered if necessary.

Apply heat to the threads of the shear bolts on the connector side
as shown in the illustration.

Switch on the hot air blower and heat the bolt for approximately
20 ... 30 seconds.
