1 Safety precautions and rules for
cleanliness

1.1 General notes on self-diagnosis


♦ The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability. Inter‐
rogate the event memory before carrying out repairs. The
vacuum hoses and connections must be checked (to prevent
unmetered air).
♦ Fuel hoses in engine compartment must only be secured with
spring-type clips. O-type clips or screw-type clips must not be
used.
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone
drawn into the engine will not be burnt in the engine and will
damage the Lambda probe.
♦ The vehicles are fitted with a crash/fuel shut-off system. This
reduces the risk of a vehicle fire after a crash. The fuel pump
relay deactivates the fuel pump.
♦ At the same time, this system also improves the engine's start‐
ing performance. Each time the driver's door is opened, the
fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds. Initial fuel pressure will
then build up. Observe safety precautions ⇒ page 1 .
♦ Use release tool -T40138- to unplug connectors that cannot
be accessed easily.

1.2 Safety precautions when using testers


and measuring instruments during a
road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:

WARNING

Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test


equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.

1.3 Safety precautions for vehicles with


start/stop system

WARNING

Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with


start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).

1.4 Safety precautions when working on the


fuel system

WARNING

The fuel system operates at extremely high pressure. This can


cause injury.
♦ The fuel system is pressurised. The fuel pressure in the
high-pressure section of the injection system must be re‐
duced to a residual pressure prior to opening; for proce‐
dure see ⇒ page 4 .
♦ The connection must be opened immediately after reduc‐
ing the pressure; wrap a cloth around the connection and
allow the residual pressure (approx. 7 bar) to dissipate.

Caution

To prevent irreparable damage to the electronic components


when disconnecting the battery:
♦ Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery.

1.5 Rules for cleanliness and instructions


for working on fuel system
When working on the fuel system note the following warnings:

WARNING

♦ If the battery is not disconnected, the fuse for the fuel


pump control unit -J538- must be removed as a precau‐
tionary measure before opening the fuel system because
the fuel pump will otherwise be activated by the contact
switch on the driver's door.
♦ The fuel system is pressurised. The fuel pressure in the
high-pressure section of the injection system must be re‐
duced to a residual pressure prior to opening; for proce‐
dure see ⇒ page 4 .
♦ The connection must be opened immediately after reduc‐
ing the pressure; wrap a cloth around the connection and
allow the residual pressure (approx. 7 bar) to dissipate.

Note

Removing the fuse (located in fuse carrier in dash panel on driv‐


er's side) will interrupt the power supply from »terminal 30« for
the fuel pump control unit -J538- . ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Elec‐
trical fault finding and Fitting locations

Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. For this rea‐
son, please observe the following rules when working on the fuel
supply system and injection system:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Plug open lines and connections with suitable protective caps
immediately.
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ Only install clean components; replacement parts should only
be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts
that have been previously unpacked and stored away loose
(e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

1.6 Safety precautions when working on the


ignition system
To prevent injuries to persons and/or irreparable damage to the
fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
♦ Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker must at all times main‐
tain a safe distance from high-voltage components such as the
ignition system and gas-discharge headlights.
♦ Do not open any fuel line connections while the engine is run‐
ning.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
♦ If engine is to be operated at cranking speed without it starting
(e.g. compression test), unplug connectors from ignition coils
and remove fuse for electric fuel pump.
♦ Certain tests may lead to a fault being detected by the control
unit and stored. The event memory should therefore be inter‐
rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.

♦ Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine.


♦ If the engine has to be operated at the starting speed without
actually starting (e.g. to test compression pressure), detach
the four connectors from the ignition coils using assembly tool
-T40039- ⇒ page 64 . Also remove fuse for fuel pump control
unit -J538- .

Note

♦ The fuse is located in the fuse holder in the dash panel.


♦ Removing the fuse (located in fuse carrier in dash panel on
driver's side) will interrupt the power supply from »terminal 30«
for the fuel pump control unit -J538- . ⇒ Current flow diagrams,
Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations

1.7 Reducing pressure in high-pressure


section of injection system

WARNING

The fuel system operates at extremely high pressure. This can


cause injury.
♦ The injection system consists of a high-pressure section
(maximum approx. 140 bar) and a low-pressure section
(approx. 7 bar).
♦ Prior to opening the high-pressure section (e.g. when re‐
moving the high-pressure pump, fuel rail, injectors, fuel
pipes or fuel pressure sender -G247- ), the fuel pressure
in the high-pressure section must be reduced to a residual
pressure of approx. 7 bar. The procedure is described be‐
low.

Reducing fuel pressure in high-pressure section:


– Connect a ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.

– With engine idling, pull out fuse for fuel pump control unit -
J538- in fuse carrier in dash panel (driver's side) ⇒ Current
flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

Note

Removing the fuse will interrupt the voltage supply »terminal 30«
for the fuel pump control unit -J538- .

– Observe fuel pressure displayed on diagnostic system.


• The fuel pressure will decrease very quickly because the me‐
chanical high-pressure pump is no longer being supplied with
fuel by the fuel system pressurisation pump -G6- .
– Switch off ignition as soon as fuel pressure has dropped to
approx. 8 bar.

Note

Fuel pressure must not fall below 6 bar, otherwise the engine will
stall (this could damage the catalytic converter).

WARNING

There is a risk of injury: avoid skin contact with fuel.


♦ The fuel lines are still filled with fuel, however the fuel is
no longer under high pressure. Wear safety goggles and
protective clothing when opening the fuel system.
♦ Before opening the high-pressure section, wrap a cloth
around the connection.

– The high-pressure system must be opened »immediately« af‐


ter reducing the fuel pressure; wrap a clean cloth around the
connection. Catch the escaping fuel.

Note

The pressure will increase again due to the effect of residual heat
if the high-pressure system is not opened immediately.

Additional steps required


– Refit fuse.
– Erase event memory and generate readiness code in engine
control unit in „Guided Functions“ mode.

Note

♦ If the air filter element is very dirty or wet, dirt or water could
reach the air mass meter -G70- and affect the air mass value.
♦ This would lead to loss of power, since a smaller injection
quantity is calculated.
♦ Always use genuine part for air filter element.
♦ Hose connections and hoses for charge air system must be
free of oil and grease before assembly. Do not use any lubri‐
cants containing 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.

– Blow out water drain -arrow- in air cleaner (bottom section)

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.

WARNING

To prevent irreparable damage to the electronic components,


select appropriate measuring range before connecting the
measuring cables and observe the test requirements.

– The engine control unit has to be removed before multi-pin


connectors can be unplugged from engine control unit
⇒ page 58 .
– Connect test box -V.A.G 1598/42- to wiring harness with
adapter cable -V.A.G 1598/39-1- or adapter cable -V.A.G
1598/39-2- . Connect earth clip of test box to negative terminal
of battery. The instructions for performing the individual tests
indicate whether or not the engine control unit itself also needs
to be connected to the test box.
– Carry out test as described in appropriate repair procedures.
Installing engine control unit
Installation is performed in the reverse sequence.
– After installation, the locking plate must be re-fitted on the
control unit.

The procedure required after connecting the new engine control


unit is described in the Guided Fault Finding or Guided Functions.

Note

After completion of the Guided Fault Finding routine, the tester


will attempt to erase the event memories of all control units. If this
is not successful, the remaining faults registered in the memories
must be rectified until all faults can be erased.

9.2 Renewing engine control unit -J623-

Note

Not every engine control unit is bolted to a protective housing.


Whether a protective housing is fitted depends on the engine/
gearbox combination.

Special tools and workshop equipment required


♦ Hot air blower -VAS 1978/14A- -item 1- with nozzle attachment
-2- from wiring harness repair set -VAS 1978 B-
♦ Small, commercially available mole grips -3-

Note

♦ The engine control unit -1- is bolted to a protective casing


-2 and 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 metal housing has to be removed before the connectors
can be unplugged from the engine control unit (e.g. to connect
the test box or renew the engine control unit).

Removing
– When renewing engine control unit, select diagnosis object
„Replace engine control unit“ in „Guided Functions“.

Perform the following work steps if a protective housing is fitted:

To help prevent unauthorised access to the connectors on the


engine control unit, the engine control unit -1- is bolted to a pro‐
tective housing -5- by means of shear bolts -3 and 4- and a locking
plate -2-.
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

The shear bolts and protective housing also become very hot
when heating the threads of the locking mechanism. 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 for approx. 25 to 30 seconds.
– Unscrew shear bolts using mole grips (see arrow in illustra‐
tion).

28 – Ignition system
1 General notes and safety precau‐
tions

1.1 General notes on ignition system


♦ The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability.
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Certain tests may lead to a fault being detected by the control
unit and stored. The event memory should therefore be inter‐
rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.
♦ If the engine starts, runs for a short period and then cuts out
after completing fault finding, repairs or component tests, this
may be due to the immobilizer disabling the engine control
unit. The event memory must then be interrogated and, if nec‐
essary, the control unit must be adapted.

1.2 Safety precautions


Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:

WARNING

Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test


equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.

To prevent injuries to persons and/or irreparable damage to the


fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
♦ Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is
running or being turned at starter speed.
♦ The ignition must be switched off before disconnecting or con‐
necting ignition system wiring, high-voltage wires and test
leads.
♦ If you want to crank the engine at starting speed without ac‐
tually starting it (e.g. compression test), first unplug the con‐
nectors from the ignition coils and the injectors. After
completing the work, interrogate and erase the event memory.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine.
