📋 Procedure
- Open fuse box cover on left-hand side of instrument panel.
- Take out fuse in fuse holder S228 (left row, 5th large fuse from the top).
- Connect remote controlV.A.G 1348/3A for V.A.G 1348 with adapter cableV.A.G 1348/3-2 to right-hand terminal on socket of fuse S228.
- Connect crocodile clip to positive (+) terminal of battery.
- Remove filler cap from fuel filler neck.
- Take off engine cover panel (arrows).
- ⚠ The fuel system is pressurised. Before opening the system place a clean cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connection. — Disconnect fuel supply line (1) from pipe connection on engine. [Note: Disregard items (2 ... 5).]
- Connect K-Jetronic pressure testerV.A.G 1318 with adaptersV.A.G 1318/11 and V.A.G 1318/12 to fuel supply line.
- Fit auxiliary hose (arrow) onto pressure tester and hold end of hose in measuring container.
- Open cut-off valve on pressure tester. Lever must point in direction of flow.
- Build up pressure in fuel system by pressing the remote control and slowly closing the cut-off tap on the pressure gauge.
- From this point on do not move position of cut-off valve.
- Empty the measuring container.
- Press remote control button for 15 seconds.
- Compare amount of fuel delivered with minimum delivery shown in diagram (cm3/15 sec.). [Note: Voltage at fuel pump with engine stationary and pump running is approx. 2 volts less than battery voltage.]
- Connect fuel line.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
