Plastic Intake Manifold
Fuel Injectors
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Torque Wrench (V.A.G 1331)
• 17 mm Socket (V.A.G 1331/6)
• SW 14 Socket, Open Ring (V.A.G 1331/8)
• Tool Set (T10133)
Removing
• The following describes removing and installing and the left injectors (cylinder bank 2).
• Fuel system is under high pressure! Before opening high pressure components of the fuel injection system, pressure must be relieved to residual pressure. Refer to => [ Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System ] Service and Repair.
• Then wrap a clean rag around the connection and relieve residual pressure by carefully loosening the connection.
- Remove intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold ] Intake Manifold.
- Remove the affected intake manifold lower section. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold, Lower Section, with Fuel Rail ] Intake Manifold, Lower Section, With Fuel Rail.
- Guide the (T10133/2A) in the groove on the fuel injector.
- Then position the (T10133/16) and remove the fuel injector by loosening the bolt - 1 -.
• When setting the puller in place, the radial adjustment can be destroyed, because the retaining tabs break.
- Carefully remove the old combustion chamber seal - arrow -, thereby cutting seal open with a knife or spreading seal open with a small screwdriver and pulling it forward and off.
- Make sure that the groove of the fuel injector does not become damaged. If the groove is damage, the fuel injector must be replaced.
Installing
• Replace combustion chamber seal and O-ring.
• Replace spacer ring if damaged.
• Lightly coat fuel injector O-rings with clean engine oil.
• Re-insert injectors at same cylinder.
- Clean bore in cylinder head with (T10133/4).
- Clip the radial adjustment - 1 - to the support ring - 2 -.
- When re-installing a fuel injector, use a clean cloth to clean combustion residue from the groove for combustion chamber seal and the shaft of the fuel injector.
- Place (T10133/5) with new combustion chamber seal - 1 - on fuel injector - 2 -.
- Slide combustion chamber seal as far possible onto (T10133/5) using (T10133/6).
- Turn (T10133/6) around and slide combustion chamber seal into groove.
• When pushing the combustion chamber seal onto the fuel injector, the seal spreads open. Therefore after pushing it on, it must be tightened again in 2 steps, as follows.
- Press (T10133/7) with a slight turning motion (approximately 180°) onto the fuel injector until it stops.
- Pull the (T10133/7) off again, turning it in the opposite direction.
- Press the (T10133/8) with a slight turning motion (approximately 180°) onto the fuel injector until it stops.
- Pull the (T10133/8) off again, turning it in the opposite direction.
• The combustion chamber seal must not be oiled.
- Slide fuel injector into the bore cylinder head as far as stop using (T10133/9).
• The fuel injector must not be difficult to install. If necessary, wait as the combustion chamber seal continues to pull itself together.
- Make sure fuel injectors are correctly positioned in cylinder head.
• The electrical connection of the fuel injector must engage in the intended recess of the cylinder head.
• Coat the fuel injector O-rings with clean engine oil so they are easier to guide into the fuel rail.
• Replace all seals.
Further installation is in reverse order of removal, note the following:
• Tightening Specifications. Refer to => [ Plastic Intake Manifold, from MY 2009, Assembly Overview ] Plastic Intake Manifold, From MY 2009, Assembly Overview
• High pressure line connections must not show any signs of damage.
• Do not change the angles of the high pressure lines.
- Only install retaining tabs after high pressure lines have been tightened.
- Install the affected intake manifold lower section. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold, Lower Section, with Fuel Rail ] Intake Manifold, Lower Section, With Fuel Rail.
- Install intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold ] Intake Manifold.
