Tightening specifications, refer to => [ Intake Manifold ] Intake Manifold and Fuel Rail Assembly Overviews, with Magnesium Manifold, and => [ Fuel Rail and Injectors ] Intake Manifold and Fuel Rail Assembly Overviews, with Magnesium Manifold.

Installation is performed in reverse order of removal, noting the following:

High pressure line connections must not show any signs of damage.

Do not change the angles of the high pressure lines.

- Hand tighten the union nuts for the high pressure lines.

- Make sure the high pressure lines are seated free of stress.

- To tighten the 14 mm diameter union nut on the high pressure lines, use the (VAG 1331) with the (VAG 1331/8).





- To tighten the 17 mm diameter union nut on the high pressure lines, use the (VAG 1331) with the (VAG 1331/6).





- Only install the retaining tabs after the high pressure lines have been tightened.

- If necessary, fill the cooling system.

Fuel Injectors

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Torque wrench (5-50 Nm) (VAG 1331)

Tool insert, AF 17 (VAG 1331/6)

Socket insert AF 14 (VAG 1331/8)

Tool set (T10133)

Removing

CAUTION!
Fuel system is under high pressure! Before opening the high pressure components of the fuel injection system, the pressure must be relieved to a residual pressure. Refer to => [ High Side Fuel Pressure, Reducing ] Service Precautions.

Then wrap a clean cloth around the connection and relieve the residual pressure by carefully loosening the connection.

- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold ].

Seal the injector channels in the cylinder heads with clean cloths.

- Disconnect the electrical connectors from the fuel injectors.





- Remove the high pressure line - 5 - from the fuel rail.

- Remove the high pressure line - 7 - from the fuel rail. To do this, counter hold at the hex head with a open end wrench and loosen the union nut.

- Remove the screws - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 -.

Do not change the angles of the high pressure lines.

- Remove the fuel rail with the injectors.

If the fuel injectors cannot be pulled out of the cylinder head by hand, proceed as follows:





- Using a screwdriver, bend the retaining tabs - 1 - of the radial adjustment aside - arrow - and pull the support ring - 2 - off from the fuel injector.

- Remove the O-ring from the fuel injector.

- Install 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 (T10133/2A) in place, the radial adjustment can be destroyed, because the retaining tabs break.

- Carefully remove the old combustion chamber seal - arrow -, thereby cutting the seal open with a knife or spreading the 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 the combustion chamber seal and O-ring.

Replace the spacer ring if damaged.

Lightly lubricate the fuel injector O-rings with clean engine oil.

Reinstall the injector lines at the same cylinder.

- Clean the bore in the cylinder head with (T10133/4).

- Clip the radial adjustment - 1 - to the support ring - 2 -.





- When reinstalling a fuel injector, use a clean cloth to clean the combustion residue from the groove for combustion chamber seal and the shaft of the fuel injector.

- Place the (T10133/5) with new combustion chamber seal - 1 - on the fuel injector - 2 -.





- Slide the combustion chamber seal as far possible onto the (T10133/5) using the (T10133/6).





- Turn the (T10133/6) around and slide the combustion chamber seal into the 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 the (T10133/7) with a slight turning motion (approximately 180 degrees) 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 degrees) onto the fuel injector until it stops.





- Pull the (T10133/8) off again, turning it in the opposite direction.

- Lubricate the new O-ring with clean engine oil before installing.

The combustion chamber seal must not be oiled.

- Slide the fuel injector into the cylinder head bore until seated using the (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 the fuel injectors are correctly positioned in the cylinder head.

The electrical connectors for the fuel injectors must engage in the intended recess of the cylinder head.

- Press the fuel rail onto the fuel injectors with uniform pressure.





- Tighten screws - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 - diagonally in stages.

Tightening specifications, refer to => [ Fuel Rail and Injectors ] Intake Manifold and Fuel Rail Assembly Overviews, with Magnesium Manifold.

High pressure line connections must not show any signs of damage.

Do not change the angles of the high pressure lines.





- Hand tighten the union nuts for the high pressure lines.

- Make sure the high pressure lines are seated free of stress.

- To tighten the 14 mm diameter union nut on the high pressure line, use the (VAG 1331) with the (VAG 1331/8).

- To tighten the 17 mm diameter union nut on the high pressure line, use the (VAG 1331) with the (VAG 1331/6).





- Only install the retaining tabs after the high pressure lines have been tightened.

Further installation is performed in reverse order of removal, noting the following:

- Install the intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold ].
