Fuel Pump Check Valve

  1. Ensure fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel injectors and fuel filter are OK.
  2. Ensure Feed rate of fuel pump is OK. See FUEL PUMP FEED RATE  .
  3. Make sure battery is fully charged (at least 12 volts).
  4. Remove fuse No. 17 (15-amp) from fuse holder. See Figure . Connect remote control (VW 1348/3A) using adapter lead (VW 1348/3-2) and adapter cables from (VW 1594) between fuse No. 17, terminal No. 2, and battery positive (+) terminal. On vehicles with A/C, connect clip to remote starter aid connection in engine compartment.
  5. Connect pressure gauge (VAG 1318) between fuel supply and fuel collector pipes with adapter (VAG 1318/1 1), (VAG 1318/13) and (VAG 1318/15). See Fig 1 . Lever to pressure gauge in "OPEN"position.

  8. Briefly operate remote control until maximum 80 psi (5.6 kg/cm2 ) is indicated.
  9. Watch pressure drop. After 10 minutes, maximum pressure drop should be 7 psi (0.5 kg/cm2 ).
  10. If pressure drop is greater, carry out following checks:
    • Check pressure gauge connections for leaks
    • Check fuel lines for leaks
    If no leaks are present, fuel pump check valve is malfunctioning. Replace fuel pump.
