Procedure

Vehicles of MY 2003:

Fuse 10 on fuse panel SF10 (in relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment) OK





Vehicles from MY 2004:

Fuse 2 on fuse panel SF2 (in relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment) OK





All Vehicles

Fuel Pump (FP) 2 Relay (J49) OK (on the relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment, Socket 3).





Battery voltage min. 12.5 V

Fuel filter OK.

Ignition switched off.

Checking voltage supply

- Remove the cover of right luggage compartment side trim - arrows -.





Vehicles of MY 2003:

- Pull out fuse 10 on fuse panel SF10 (in relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment, Socket 10).

Vehicles from MY 2004:

- Pull out fuse 2 on fuse panel SF2 (in relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment, Socket 2).

All Vehicles

- Connect Remote Control (V.A.G 1348/3A) with Adapter Cable (V.A.G 1348/3-2) to the right socket terminal of removed fuse.





- Connect alligator clip on Remote Control (V.A.G 1348/3A) to battery "+".

- Press the switch on the remote control.

Operating noise of the pump must be audible in vicinity of fuel tank.

Fuel Pump (FP) runs quietly. Avoid surrounding noises while testing the fuel pump. If necessary, use a second technician to check.

If no operating noise can be heard:

- Remove the luggage compartment floor mat.

- Unbolt cover for left locking flange - arrows -.





- Disconnect electrical harness connector - 2 - at left locking flange.





Ignore - 1 -.

- Connect multimeter between terminal - 1 - and - 4 - of electrical harness connector for voltage measurement.





- Press the switch on the remote control.

Specified value: approximately battery voltage.

If the specification is not obtained:

- Repair the wiring harness according to the wiring diagram.

If specified value is obtained, although no running-noise can be heard at pump:

- Remove left fuel delivery unit. Refer to => [ Left Fuel Delivery Unit with Transfer Fuel Pump ] MPI Engines.

- Check if the electrical wiring between the flange and fuel pump is connected and has continuity.





If no fault is detected in the wiring:

- Fuel pump faulty. Replace left fuel delivery unit.

- Install left fuel delivery unit. Refer to => [ Left Fuel Delivery Unit with Transfer Fuel Pump ] MPI Engines.

Current Draw, Checking

Fuel pump voltage supply OK

- Remove the cover of right luggage compartment side trim - arrows -.





Vehicles of MY 2003:

- Pull out fuse 10 on fuse panel SF10 (in relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment, Socket 10).

Vehicles from MY 2004:

- Pull out fuse 2 on fuse panel SF2 (in relay and fuse panel in right of luggage compartment, Socket 2).

All Vehicles

- Connect Remote Control (V.A.G 1348/3A) with Adapter Cable (V.A.G 1348/3-2) to the right socket terminal of removed fuse.





- Connect alligator clip on Remote Control (V.A.G 1348/3A) to battery "+".

- Connect Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051B) with 100A inductive pickup (VAS 5051B/7) to wire of remote control.

- Press the switch on the remote control.

- Measure current draw of fuel pump.

Specified value: approximately 8 A

If the specification is not obtained:

At a displayed current draw of 4 A, Fuel Pump (FP) runs dry.
