Checking injection adjuster control range: VW 1.9 TDI (1Z, AFN, AHU)

1Z AHU
The control range of the injection adjuster can be checked with help of final control element test and at the same time calling-up measured value block 04. To do this it is required to activate the control element Commencement of injection valve -N108 and then exiting the final control element test with key -C-. Using this sequence the commencement of injection valve continues to be pulsed so that with help of measured value block 04 (display zone 3) the injection adjuster control range can be read.

Special tools, testers, measuring instruments and auxiliary items required

Fault reader V.A.G 1551 or vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552 with cable V.A.G 1551/3
Test box V.A.G 1598/18
Hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 or multimeter V.A.G 1715

The displays in display zones 3 and 4 must fluctuate within following control range:

Specification display zone 3
Lower range1°after TDC...4.0°before TDC
Upper range 14.0...17.4°before TDC
Specification display zone 4
Lower range 2...5%
Upper range 90...95%

Because the fault reader display is slow the displayed figures vary greatly. Therefore ensure that only in
display zone 3 the lowest figure lies between 1.0 and 4.0 and the highest figure lies between 14.0 and 17.4
and in display zone 4 the lowest figure lies between 2 and 5, and the highest figure lies between 90 and 95.

If specifications are not attained, check commencement of injection valve as follows:
