📋 Procedure
- Fold 2nd row seats forwards.
- Separate carpet under seats and fold it back General body repairs, interior70Luggage compartment trims; Removing and installing luggage compartment floor.
- Remove cover from fuel delivery unit.
- First check that connector (1) is securely seated by pulling the connector without pressing the catch. The connector can cause a fault if it has not been fitted correctly.

- Connect test instrument adapter/DSO (5-pin)VAS 5565 to connector and fuel delivery unit.
- Connect remote controlV.A.G 1348/3A to test instrument adapter/DSO (5-pin)VAS 5565 and to battery positive (+).
- ⚠ Fuel supply line is pressurised. Wear eye protection and protective clothing to avoid possible injury and skin contact. Before loosening hose connections, wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling hose off connection. — Pull fuel supply line (arrow) off fuel filter.
- Connect pressure testerVAS 6550 to fuel supply line with adapterVAS 6550/1. Hold adapterVAS 6550/2 in a measuring container.
- Close pressure gaugeVAS 6550 shut-off tap (A) (lever at right angles to direction of flow).
- Operate remote control at short intervals until a pressure of approx. 4 bar has built up.
- ⚠ Danger of spray when shut-off tap is opened. Wear eye protection and protective clothing to avoid injuries and skin contact. Hold container before free connection of pressure tester. — If pressure builds up too high, relieve excess pressure by carefully opening shut-off tap.
- Watch pressure drop on pressure gauge. After 10 minutes, pressure must not drop below 3 bar.
- Check line connections for leaks.
- Fuel pump defective, renew fuel pump unit .

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.
