📋 Procedure
ℹ️ Torque figures below come verbatim from workshop data — always cross-check against your vehicle's factory manual before final tightening.
Servicing ignition part
=> Repair group 28
Motronic injection and ignition system (5-cyl.)
Notes:
The control unit for the fuel injection and ignition system is equipped with a fault memory. Before carrying out repairs, adjustment work and fault finding the fault memory must be interrogated and the vacuum connections checked (outside air).
Components marked with * are checked via the self diagnosis.

, interrogating fault memory
Components marked with ** are checked via the final control control diagnosis => Page

.
For trouble-free operation of the electrical components, a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary.
Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone drawn into the engine, will not be burnt in the engine and damage the Lambda probe.
If the engine starts, runs for a short period and then stops, after fault finding, repairs or component tests, then the fault may lie with the immobilizer which is blocking the engine control unit. The fault memory must be interrogated and if necessary the control unit matched => Page

.
During some checks it can happen that the control unit will recognise and store a fault. Therefore after completing all checks and repairs the fault memory must be interrogated and if necessary erased.

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.
