Injectors, Checking
Engine is equipped with 2-spring injectors. Injection of the fuel quantity thereby occurs in 2 stages. These injectors are to be replaced if malfunctions occur as neither servicing nor pressure setting is possible.
Recommended special tools and equipment
- Injector test unit V.A.G 1322 with pressure line V.A.G 1322/2
Test requirement

Checking injection pressure
WARNING: When testing injectors, keep hands away from the fuel spray, because the fuel penetrates the skin at high pressure and can cause severe injuries.
- Connect injector to injector test unit.
- Slowly press the pump lever downward. Read out the injection spray pressure at beginning of injection spray. If injection spray pressure deviates from the specified value, replace the injectors.
Specified values: (Positive pressure)
