1 Servicing diesel direct injection sys‐
tem
(ARL003790; Edition 03.2014)

1.1 Safety precautions when using testers


and measuring instruments during a
road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:

WARNING

Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test


equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.
Press the DONE button when you are ready for the test drive.

1.2 To avoid injury and/or damage to the in‐


jection and glow plug system, note the
following:
♦ Persons wearing a pacemaker should not lean over the engine
compartment while the engine is running, as the injectors use
high voltage pulses.
♦ Do not open any fuel line connections while the engine is run‐
ning.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine.
♦ Certain tests may lead to a fault being detected by the control
unit and stored. The fault memory should therefore be inter‐
rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.

TDI injection and glow plug system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve common rail) - Edition 03.2014

1.3 Safety precautions when working on the


fuel system

WARNING

The fuel can become extremely hot. This can cause injuries.
♦ In extreme cases the fuel lines and the fuel can reach a
temperature of 100 °C on vehicles with common rail en‐
gine, even after the engine is switched off. Allow the fuel
to cool down before disconnecting the lines - danger of
scalding.
♦ Wear protective gloves.
♦ Wear safety goggles.
Risk of injury - fuel system operates under pressure.
♦ If the battery is not disconnected, the fuse for the fuel
pump control unit - J538- must be removed as a precau‐
tionary measure before opening the fuel system because
the fuel pump will otherwise be activated by the contact
switch on the driver's door.
♦ Wrap a clean cloth around the connection before opening
the fuel system. Then release pressure by carefully loos‐
ening the connection.
♦ Wear protective gloves.
♦ Wear safety goggles.

Caution

♦ Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery


⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 27 ; Battery; Disconnecting
and connecting battery .

• Clean tools and workbench etc. before working on the injection


system. Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not

with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before


opening.
• When removing components, plug all open connections im‐
mediately with suitable clean sealing caps.
• Do not remove sealing caps from components until immedi‐
ately prior to installation. Keep components that are to be re-
used in new, sealable plastic bags.
• Before installing, check the injectors and their surroundings
visually; they must be undamaged and clean. Make sure the
injector bores in the cylinder head are clean. Wipe out if nec‐
essary using a clean cloth, taking care not to cause damage.
Do not use sharp objects of any kind.
• If the high-pressure fuel lines are to be re-used, you must mark
them before removal. High-pressure pipes must always be re-
installed on the same cylinder.
• Take care not to damage the injectors when removing the old
copper seals.
• Check all new O-rings for damage before installing. Lubricate
O-rings with engine oil or assembly oil before installing.

• Position high-pressure pipes so they are free of stress. Tighten


all unions lightly to start with before tightening to final torque.
• Never attempt to bend high-pressure fuel lines to shape.
• When working on any parts of the high-pressure fuel system,
tools may only be used for loosening and tightening pipe un‐
ions. All other components must always be removed and
installed by hand without using tools or other equipment.
• Press the fuel return hoses onto the injectors by hand from
above so that they engage audibly on each injector (do not
press in the release pins when doing this). Then press down
the release pin after connecting the return line. Check that the
fuel return hoses are seated securely by pulling them by hand
from above. Also check that they seal properly (fuel pressure
in return line as far as pressure retention valve: between 8 and
10 bar).
• Do not dismantle individual common rail components. If there
is a fault, the complete components must be renewed.
• When the engine is running, do not perform any repairs to the
common rail system.
• Do not bleed the common rail system by unfastening high-
pressure components after the engine has been started.
• All cable ties which are released or cut open when removing
must be refitted in the same position when installing.
• When the fuel system is open: Do not work with compressed
air if this can be avoided. Do not move the vehicle unless ab‐
solutely necessary. Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not

coolant hoses. Should this occur, the hoses must be cleaned
immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.

1.4 Checking vacuum system


Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Hand vacuum pump - VAS 6213-

Procedure
– Check all vacuum lines in the complete vacuum system for:
♦ Cracks
♦ Traces of animal bites
♦ Kinked or crushed lines
♦ Lines porous or leaking
– Check vacuum line to solenoid valve and from solenoid valve
to corresponding component.

– If an entry is stored in the event memory, check the vacuum


lines leading to the corresponding component and also check
the other vacuum lines leading to other components.
– If it is not possible to build up pressure with the hand vacuum
pump - VAS 6213- or if the pressure drops again immediately,
check the hand vacuum pump and connecting hoses for leaks.

1.16 Performing adaption of correction val‐


ues for injectors
The “Injector delivery calibration” function serves to correct the
injection rates for each cylinder of a common rail system individ‐
ually across the entire operating range.

Audi A8 2003 ➤
TDI injection and glow plug system (8-cyl. 4.0 ltr. 4-valve common rail) - Edition 03.2014

The 6-digit adaption values -Item 1- are marked separately on


each injector. They may consist of letters and/or numbers (ASCII
code).
When a new injector is installed, the adaption value for the new
injector must be stored in the corresponding engine control unit.
Cylinders 1, 4, 6 and 7: master engine control unit
Cylinders 2, 3, 5 and 8: slave engine control unit
When one or both engine control units are renewed, the appro‐
priate injector delivery calibration values must be stored in the
new control unit(s):
Examples:
If the master engine control unit is renewed, the injector delivery
calibration values must be re-adapted for cylinders 1, 4, 6 and 7.
If the slave engine control unit is renewed, the injector delivery
calibration values must be re-adapted for cylinders 2, 3, 5 and 8.
The adaption procedure is described in Guided Fault Finding.
(The procedure is also described in Guided Functions)

1.17 Checking for injectors sticking open


If one of the injectors is sticking open, this means that the injector
needle is not closing fully and fuel escapes into the cylinder.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Hand vacuum pump - VAS 6213-

♦ Use a return line to make an -adapter-.

– Pull off retaining clips -arrows- from fuel return lines.


– Disconnect fuel return hoses from injectors.
– Connect adapter to return line connection of injector to be tes‐
ted after adapter has been cleaned and blown out.
– Generate a vacuum of -500 mbar using the hand vacuum
pump - VAS 6213- .
If the vacuum reading remains the same for 30 seconds, the in‐
jector is OK.
In the case of a faulty injector, the vacuum will fall back to 0 bar
within 2 to 3 seconds.
Repeat test if necessary; note drop in vacuum reading on hand
vacuum pump - VAS 6213- .
– Renew faulty injectors ⇒ page 35 .
Installing fuel return lines
– Check O-ring for fuel return line connection for damage and
deformation.
If O-ring is damaged or deformed, renew O-ring.

Note

Lubricate all seals with engine oil or assembly oil before installing.

– Press the return lines firmly onto the injectors from above so
that they engage audibly on each injector. Then re-fit the re‐
taining clips. Check that the return lines are seated securely
by pulling them by hand from above.
Bleeding fuel system and checking for leaks
– Run engine at idling speed for several minutes (do not press
accelerator) and then switch off. Fuel system will bleed itself

– Check the entire fuel system for leaks.
Renew the affected component if leakage occurs.
– After completing the repair, road-test the vehicle. Accelerate
with full throttle at least once. Then check the high-pressure
section of the fuel system again for leaks.

WARNING

Always read instructions for working on fuel system.


Follow these instructions before starting work and while work‐
ing on the fuel system ⇒ page 2 .

Checking return flow rate of injectors (cylinder bank 1)


A certain amount of excess fuel is returned from every injector
(return flow rate). If the return flow rate at one injector is relatively
high compared to the other injectors, that injector is probably de‐
fective.
– Remove engine cover panel (refer to instructions for removing
and installing ⇒ page 24 ).
– Clean all return line connections with engine cleaner or brake
cleaner and dry.
– Using hose clamp (up to Ø 25 mm) - 3094- , clamp off common
return line behind cylinder No. 4 to prevent fuel coming out at
the disconnected return lines.

– Pull off retaining clips -arrows- from fuel return lines.


– Pull return lines off all four injectors and connect four test ho‐
ses (approx. 90 cm long) to return connections.

Note

Take care to keep all components clean. No dirt must be allowed


to get into the disconnected return lines or the open connections
on the injectors.

– Secure hoses with retaining clips.

– Feed the four hoses into meter.


– Start engine and let it idle for several minutes.
– If the return flow rate at one or more injectors is so high that
the engine will not start (or is difficult to start), this will be ap‐
parent while the starter is being operated: the measuring tube
belonging to the defective injector will fill up noticeably faster.
– If the engine starts, there should be no significant difference
between the return flow rates at the four return connections
(with the engine warm and idling at about 650 rpm).
The return flow rate should not exceed 20 ml per minute at each
cylinder.
If an injector does not meet this specification, renew the injector
concerned ⇒ page 35 .
– Press the return lines onto the injectors from above so that
they engage audibly on each injector. Then re-fit the retaining
clips. Check that the return lines are seated securely by pulling
them by hand from above.

♦ Return flow meter - VAS 6684- or meter - V.A.G 1348/2B-

♦ Lengths of hose to fit return line connections on injectors

WARNING

Always read instructions for working on fuel system.


Follow these instructions before starting work and while work‐
ing on the fuel system ⇒ page 2 .

Procedure
Each injector normally has a relatively low return flow rate. If the
return flow rate at one injector is relatively high compared to the
other injectors, that injector is probably defective.
– Remove engine cover panel (refer to instructions for removing
and installing ⇒ page 24 ).
– Clean all return line connections with engine cleaner or brake
cleaner and dry.
– Pull off retaining clips -arrows- from fuel return lines.
– Pull return lines off all four injectors and connect four test ho‐
ses (approx. 90 cm long) to return connections.

Note

Take care to keep all components clean. No dirt must be allowed


to get into the disconnected return lines or the open connections
on the injectors.

– Secure hoses with retaining clips.

1.24 Bleeding fuel system after installing


high-pressure pump
After installation, the high-pressure pump must first be filled with
fuel before the engine is started (the pump must not be allowed
to run while still empty).

Note

♦ When installing the high-pressure fuel pump, it is essential to


ensure that no dirt enters the fuel system.
♦ Only remove sealing plugs immediately prior to installation of
fuel pipes.
♦ There must be sufficient fuel in the tank.

Bleeding fuel system


Proceed as follows to fill high-pressure pump with fuel.
– Connect battery charger ⇒ Rep. gr. 27
– Switch on ignition for 100 seconds.
– Switch off ignition.
– Switch on ignition again for 100 seconds.

Note

♦ The fuel pump is activated for 100 seconds each time the ig‐
nition is switched on.
♦ This ensures that a supply of fuel without air bubbles is present
at the high-pressure pump intake.

– Unplug connector from fuel pressure regulating valve - N276-


so that engine does not start when starter motor is operated.

The fuel pressure regulating valve is located in the fuel distributor
housing (function block). It maintains a constant pressure in the
rail and the injector pipes (high-pressure circuit).
If the pressure in the rail is too high, the regulator valve opens to
allow some of the fuel to flow back from the rail to the fuel tank
via a return line.
If the pressure in the distributor housing is too low, the valve
closes and thus seals off the high-pressure section of the system
from the low-pressure section.

WARNING

Heating the thread of the locking plate also heats up the shear
bolts and parts of the metal housing. Take care to avoid burns.
It is also important to ensure that only the thread is heated and
none of the surrounding components if at all possible. These
should be covered if necessary.

The threads of the two shear bolts -4- which are not screwed into
the engine control unit are secured with locking fluid. To unscrew
these two bolts, the threads must therefore be heated with the hot
air blower.
The threads of the two shear bolts -3- which are screwed into the
engine control unit are not secured with locking fluid. Do not apply
heat to the threads in the control unit housing; this is not neces‐
sary and would cause overheating of the control unit.

– Select settings on hot air blower as shown in illustration, i.e.


set temperature potentiometer -2- to maximum heat output
and two-stage air flow switch -3- to position 3.

to be heated. They should be removed without being heated.
– Detach metal locking plate from control unit connectors.
– Release connectors on engine control unit and unplug con‐
nectors.
– Connect test box - V.A.G 1598/42- to wiring harness connec‐
tor. The earth clip on the test box must be connected to the
negative battery terminal. The instructions for performing the
individual tests indicate whether or not the engine control unit
itself also needs to be connected to the test box.
– Carry out test as described in appropriate repair procedures.
Installing engine control unit
Installation is performed in the reverse sequence. After installa‐
tion, the protective housing must be re-fitted on the control unit.
Use new shear bolts.

Note

After completion of the Guided Fault Finding routine, the tester


will attempt to erase the fault memories of all control units. If this
is not successful, the remaining faults registered in the memories
must be rectified until all faults can be erased.
