Warning
|
|
Removal of the fuel pressure regulator involves partial dismantling of the car's fuel system. The following points must therefore be observed in connection with this work:
|
|
•
|
Work only in a well-ventilated area. If approved equipment for the extraction of fuel vapour is available, be sure to use it.
|
|
•
|
Wear suitable gloves. Prolonged contact with fuel can cause skin irritation or dermatitis.
|
|

2.
|
Fit a transparent hose onto the nozzle. This hose should be about 40 cm long and have an inside diameter of 15 mm.
|
|
3.
|
Place the end of the hose in a receptacle or measuring flask.
|
|
4.
|
Connect each injector to its proper connector.
|
|
6.
|
Perform a flow capacity test with the diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool then activates the injector concerned with battery voltage for exactly 30 seconds.
|
|
7.
|
Check the quantity of fuel against the table below.
|
|
8.
|
Replace any defective injectors.
