1.1 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.

1.2 Safety precautions when working on ve‐


hicles with start/stop system
When performing repairs on vehicles with start/stop system, note
the following:

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.

tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).

1.3 Safety precautions when working on the


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

WARNING

The fuel can become extremely hot. This can cause injuries.
♦ In extreme cases the fuel lines and the fuel can reach a
temperature of 100 °C on vehicles with common rail en‐
gine, even after the engine is switched off. Allow the fuel
to cool down before disconnecting the lines - danger of
scalding.
♦ Wear protective gloves.
♦ Wear safety goggles.
Risk of injury - fuel system operates under pressure.
♦ 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.
♦ Wrap a clean cloth around the connection before opening
the fuel system. Then release pressure by carefully loos‐
ening the connection.
♦ Wear protective gloves.
♦ Wear safety goggles.

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.

TDI injection and glow plug system (6-cyl. 3.0 ltr. 4-valve common rail) - Edition 11.2013

To prevent the high-pressure pump from running while it is empty


and to ensure that the engine starts quickly after parts have been
renewed, it is important to observe the following:

Caution

Running when dry causes irreparable damage to high-pres‐


sure pump.
♦ To prevent the high-pressure fuel pump from running
while it is empty and to ensure that the engine starts quick‐
ly after parts have been renewed, it is important to observe
the following:
♦ If components of the fuel system between the fuel tank
and the high-pressure fuel pump are removed or renewed,
the basic setting “Checking fuel system pressurisation
pump” must be performed to bleed the fuel system.
♦ Perform first fuel filling after installing high-pressure pump.

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


system.
• Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
• 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‐

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 and sealed properly by
pulling them by hand from above.
• Do not dismantle individual common rail components. If there
is a fault, the complete components must be renewed.

TDI injection and glow plug system (6-cyl. 3.0 ltr. 4-valve common rail) - Edition 11.2013

• 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. Do not move the vehicle unless ab‐
solutely necessary.
• 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 Checking vacuum system

– 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 remaining 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.

2.3 Overview - fuel system

Caution

Risk of malfunctions caused by dirt.


The high-pressure fuel pump has very close tolerances and
must not be allowed to run without fuel. To prevent this and to
enable the engine to start quickly after parts have been re‐
newed, it is important to observe the following:

Note

The high-pressure pump will be damaged if the first fuel filling operation is not performed.

Caution

♦ 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.
♦ If the high-pressure pump is removed or renewed, the fuel
system must be bled before the engine is started for the
first time. Procedure for first fuel filling
⇒ “5.3 Performing first fuel filling after installing high-pres‐
sure pump”, page 50

Proceed as follows to fill fuel system with fuel:


– Connect a ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
– Switch on ignition.
– Select “Engine electronics” in vehicle self-diagnosis.
– Select “Guided Functions”.
– Then select “Activate fuel pump”.
– Select “120 seconds”.
– The fuel pump starts running.
– The fuel pump must run for approx. 2 minutes to ensure that
the fuel system is filled sufficiently with fuel.

Note

To repeat basic setting, switch ignition off and on once. Then start
basic setting again.

– Start engine after filling fuel system.


– Run engine at moderate speed for several minutes and then
switch off.
– Check fuel system for leaks.
– Erase entry in event memory using ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic test‐
er.
– 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.

– Interrogate event memory again.

Tightening torques
♦ ⇒ “3.1 Exploded view - air cleaner”, page 30
To ensure that the air mass meter -G70- functions 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 the air mass meter 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.
♦ The air cleaner housing MUST be clean.
♦ Hose connections and air pipes and hoses must be free of oil
and grease before assembly.
♦ To prevent malfunctions, cover critical parts of the engine air
intake (air mass meter, air pipes, etc.) with a clean cloth when
blowing out the air cleaner housing with compressed air.
♦ 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 secure the air hoses at their connections, spray rust re‐
mover onto the worm thread of the used hose clips before
installing.
♦ Observe environmental requirements for disposal.

– Clean salt residue, dirt and leaves out of air cleaner housing
using a vacuum cleaner.
– Blow out water drain -arrow- on air cleaner housing with com‐

♦ Do NOT press the accelerator during this test; the engine


must only run at idling speed.

– When the engine is warm and running at idling speed, the re‐
turn flow rates at each of the 6 injectors must not differ by more
than a small amount.

Evaluating return flow rate:


♦ 1 = injectors OK; return flow rate approx. identical on all injec‐
tors.
♦ 2 = injector for cylinder 3 not OK; return flow rate surpasses
value three times the volume of smallest measured return flow
rate.

Note

There is a mechanical fault at the injector if the return flow rate is


greater than three times the volume of the smallest measured
return flow rate.

– If one injector has a significantly higher return flow rate than


the others it must be renewed ⇒ page 67 .

7.3 Removing and installing fuel pressure


regulating valve - N276-

Note

♦ The fuel pressure regulating valve - N276- maintains a con‐


stant pressure in the fuel rail and the injector pipes (high-
pressure fuel circuit).
♦ It is not possible to start engine if fuel pressure regulating valve
- N276- is defective.
♦ 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 hose.
♦ If the pressure in the high-pressure fuel circuit is too low, the
valve closes and seals off the high-pressure section of the
system from the low-pressure section.
♦ The fuel pressure regulating valve - N276- has a deformable
sealing lip and can only be used once. Do not install it for test
purposes.

1.1 Checking glow plug system


♦ The glow plug system is activated via the automatic glow pe‐
riod control unit - J179- . The control unit is self-diagnosis
compatible.
♦ A fault is stored in the event memory of the engine control unit
- J623- if a fault occurs in the glow plug system.
♦ The procedure for checking the glow plug system is described
in the “Guided Fault Finding”.
♦ For faster starting, the vehicle is equipped with electronically
controlled glow plugs and a separate glow period control unit.
♦ Each glow plug is activated and diagnosed separately.

Note

♦ Wait for 60 seconds each time after performing final control


diagnosis of the glow period control unit. The ignition must re‐
main switched on.
♦ If you do not wait for 60 seconds (if ignition is switched off and
immediately switched on again), the glow plugs can be dam‐
aged (due to repeated pre-heating).
♦ The activation of the glow plugs is controlled according to
coolant temperature.
