Intake Manifold Overview






Intake Manifold Overview

The fuel system is under pressure!

Before opening the high pressure side components, the fuel pressure must be relieved to a residual pressure. Refer to => [ High Side Fuel Pressure, Releasing ] Service and Repair.






1 Bolt

5 Nm

2 Intake Air Temperature Sensor (G42)

3 EVAP Canister Purge Regulator Valve 1 (N80)

With a double check-valve - item 15 -, as a single component.

To remove and install, remove the intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold with Fuel Rail ] Intake Manifold with Fuel Rail.

4 Intake Manifold

Removing and installing, refer to => [ Intake Manifold with Fuel Rail ] Intake Manifold with Fuel Rail.

Bolt tightening specification, refer to - item 15 - in the => [ Fuel Rail and Injectors Overview ] Fuel Rail and Injectors Overview.

Fuel rail, separating from the intake manifold. Refer to => [ Fuel Rail, Separating from the Intake Manifold ] Intake Manifold with Fuel Rail.

5 Vacuum Actuator

Checking, refer to => [ Variable Intake Manifold, Checking ] Testing and Inspection.

6 Bolt

M6 threads - 8 Nm + an additional 90° (1/4 turn. Always replace.

M8 threads - 20 Nm

7 Connection

For the fuel supply line from the fuel tank.

8 Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276)

See the => [ High Pressure Pump Overview ] High Pressure Pump Overview.

9 High Pressure Pump

With the fuel pressure regulator valve.

An electric fuel pump , located in the fuel tank, supplies fuel to the mechanical high pressure pump at a pressure of approximately 7 bar.

When installing the high pressure pump, make sure that no dirt enters the fuel system.

The fuel system must be pressureless to install the high pressure pump, releasing the high side fuel pressure. Refer to => [ High Side Fuel Pressure, Releasing ] Service and Repair.

Install the fuel line to the fuel rail free of tension.
