📋 Procedure

1. Note safety precautions before beginning work .
2. ⚠ Fuel supply lines are under pressure! Before loosening hose connections, wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling hose off connection. — First check whether a coded radio is fitted. If so, obtain anti-theft coding.
3. With the ignition switched off, disconnect battery earth strap.
4. Pull 4-pin connector and fuel hoses off fuel delivery unit (right-hand side of vehicle) and remove the fuel delivery unit . [Note: Press buttons on hose couplings to do this.]
5. Now disconnect 2-pin connector (1), and fuel supply hose coupling (2) to suction jet pump. [Note: Press buttons on hose couplings to do this.]

6. Lift fuel delivery unit slightly and pull bracket with return line (arrow) off upwards.
7. Now remove union nut of fuel gauge sender 2G169 on left-hand side of vehicle.
8. Lift fuel gauge sender 2G169 upwards as far as possible.
9. Separate cable tie on fuel line (arrow) and carefully open out mounting for suction jet pump on fuel gauge sender 2G169.
10. Now unclip the suction jet pump with fuel supply and return lines from fuel gauge sender 2G169 and remove.
11. Check that the fuel lines on suction jet pump are fitted securely and are not damaged.
12. Additionally check suction jet pump for possible soiling.
13. Install suction jet pump and fuel gauge sender 2G169 in reverse order of removal. [Note: Ensure before installing the fuel delivery unit or fuel gauge sender 2G169 that the seal is inserted dry into the fuel tank opening.Moisten seal with fuel only when installing flange or fuel delivery unit.Ensure that fuel hoses are tight.]
