Guidelines For Clean Working Conditions
NOTE:
Even small pieces of debris can cause faults. Observe the following guidelines for cleanliness when working on the fuel supply system, injection system and turbocharging system:
- Before loosening, thoroughly clean the connection points and surrounding areas with engine or brake cleaner, and then allow the cleaned area to dry completely.
- Immediately seal off any open lines and connections with clean plugs, for example, taken from the Engine Bung Set:VAS6122 .
- Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use lint-free cloths.
- Carefully cover or seal opened components if repairs are not performed immediately.
- Only install clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored outside of their packaging (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
- Do not work with compressed air when the system is open. Do not move the vehicle if at all possible.
- Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, the fuel hoses must be cleaned again immediately.
- Protect any disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture, and only connect them when they are completely dry.
