Direct injection and ignition system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve TFSI) - Edition 12.2012

1.2 Safety precautions when working on the


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

WARNING

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


♦ The fuel pressure in the high-pressure section of the in‐
jection system must be reduced to a residual pressure
prior to opening the system; for the correct procedure see
⇒ page 4 .
♦ The connection must be opened IMMEDIATELY after re‐
ducing the pressure; wrap a cloth around the connection
and allow the residual pressure (approx. 6 bar) to dissi‐
pate.
Escaping fuel can cause a fire risk.
♦ As the fuel pump is activated by the door contact switch
when the driver's door is opened, disconnect the voltage
supply for the fuel pump if the battery has NOT been dis‐
connected.
♦ Remove fuse for fuel pump control unit -J538- ⇒ Current
flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

♦ 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 probes.

1.3 Safety precautions when working on the


injection and ignition system
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection
and ignition system, note the following:
♦ Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker must at all times main‐
tain a safe distance from high-voltage components such as the
ignition system and xenon headlights.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting electrical wiring for the injection or ignition system or
tester cables.
♦ For safety reasons, the battery must be disconnected before
opening the fuel system to prevent the fuel pump from being
activated by the contact switch on the driver's door.
♦ Do not open any fuel line connections while the engine is run‐
ning.
♦ Always switch off ignition before washing engine.

Caution

To prevent irreparable damage to the electronic components


when disconnecting the battery:
♦ Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before disconnecting the
battery.

– Disconnect battery ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 27 .

1.4 Safety precautions when working on ve‐


hicles 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).

1.5 Safety precautions after working in the


engine compartment
After working in the engine compartment, note the following:

WARNING

Danger of fire and damage if the engine cover panel is not fit‐
ted.
♦ The engine cover panel must always be fitted before the
bonnet is closed.
♦ If the engine cover panel is not fitted, it is not permissible
to start or drive the vehicle with the bonnet closed.

Direct injection and ignition system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve TFSI) - Edition 12.2012

1.6 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.

1.7 Rules for cleanliness and instructions

with respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by AUDI AG.

Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. When work‐


ing on the fuel supply system and injection system, pay careful
attention to the following basic rules:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Seal off open pipes/lines and connections immediately with
clean plugs, e.g. from engine bung set -VAS 6122- .
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be
carried out immediately.
♦ 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.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.

1.8 Reducing pressure in high-pressure


section of injection system
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Vehicle diagnostic tester

4 Rep. gr.24 - Mixture preparation - injection


Audi A6 2011 ➤ , Audi A7 Sportback 2011 ➤
Direct injection and ignition system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve TFSI) - Edition 12.2012

WARNING

The fuel system operates at extremely high pressure. This can


cause injury.
♦ The injection system consists of a high-pressure section
(maximum approx. 120 bar) and a low-pressure section
(4 ... 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 pressure in the
high-pressure section must be reduced to a specified lev‐
el. The procedure is described below.

Procedure
– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester , select function “Reducing
fuel pressure in fuel rail” in “Guided Functions” and follow on-
screen instructions.
• Fuel pressure will drop to a specified value.
– Switch off ignition.
The fuel rail is still filled with fuel, however it is no longer under
high pressure.

WARNING

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


♦ Wear safety goggles and protective clothing when open‐
ing the fuel system.
♦ Before opening the high-pressure section of the fuel sys‐
tem, place a clean cloth around the connection to catch
escaping fuel.
Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not
permitted unless authorised by AUDI AG. AUDI AG does not guarantee or accept any liability
with respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by AUDI AG.
– 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.
♦ The ignition must not be switched on again from this point on
as this would increase the pressure again.

Additional steps required


– Erase any entries in event memory resulting from work per‐
formed ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester, Guided Functions ,
Interrogate event memory , then Generate readiness
code .

1.9 Checking for leaks in the fuel system


– Allow engine to run for several minutes at moderate rpm.
– Switch off ignition.
– Check complete fuel system for leaks.

Direct injection and ignition system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve TFSI) - Edition 12.2012

– If leaks are found although the connections have been tight‐


ened to the correct torque, the relevant component must be
renewed.
– Road-test vehicle and accelerate with full throttle at least once.
– Then inspect high-pressure section again for leaks.

1.10 Checking vacuum system


Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Hand vacuum pump -VAS 6213-

Procedure
– Check all vacuum lines in the complete vacuum system for:
♦ Cracks
♦ Traces of animal bites
♦ Kinked or crushed lines
♦ Lines porous or leaking
– Check vacuum line to solenoid valve and from solenoid valve
to corresponding component.
– If an entry is stored in the event memory, check the vacuum
lines leading to the corresponding component and also check
the other vacuum lines leading to other components.
– If it is not possible to build up a vacuum with the hand vacuum
pump -VAS 6213- or if the vacuum pressure drops again im‐
mediately, check the hand vacuum pump and connecting
hoses for leaks.

Installing
To ensure that the fuel systems function properly, it is important
to observe the following notes and instructions.

Note

♦ If the air filter element is very dirty or wet, dirt or water could
reach components and affect the measured values. This
would lead to loss of power, since a smaller injection quantity
is calculated.
♦ Always use genuine part for air filter element.
♦ The air cleaner housing MUST be clean.
♦ Hose connections and air pipes and hoses must be free of oil
and grease before assembly.
♦ Use a silicone-free lubricant when installing the air hoses.
♦ Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose clips
(same as original equipment) ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .
♦ To prevent malfunctions, cover critical parts of the engine air
intake (such as air pipes, etc.) with a clean cloth when blowing
out the air cleaner housing with compressed air.
♦ Observe environmental requirements for disposal.

Direct injection and ignition system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve TFSI) - Edition 12.2012

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.

Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not
permitted unless authorised by AUDI AG. AUDI AG does not guarantee or accept any liability

– 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.

carrying out repairs and fault finding, the event memory must
be interrogated. The vacuum hoses and connections must al‐
so be checked (unmetered air).
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Entries will be stored in the event memory of the engine control
unit if electrical connectors have been unplugged and the en‐
gine started.
♦ 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 of the engine control unit must then
be interrogated and, if necessary, the control unit must be
adapted.
Additional steps required
– Erase any entries in event memory resulting from testing or
repairs ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester, Guided Functions , In-
terrogate event memory , then Generate readiness
code .

1.2 Safety precautions when working on the


injection and ignition system
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection
and ignition system, note the following:
♦ Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker must at all times main‐
tain a safe distance from high-voltage components such as the
ignition system and xenon headlights.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting electrical wiring for the injection or ignition system or
tester cables.
♦ For safety reasons, the battery must be disconnected before
opening the fuel system to prevent the fuel pump from being
activated by the contact switch on the driver's door.
♦ Do not open any fuel line connections while the engine is run‐
ning.
♦ Always switch off ignition before washing engine.

♦ 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 after working in the


engine compartment
After working in the engine compartment, note the following:

WARNING

Danger of fire and damage if the engine cover panel is not fit‐
ted.
