Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

1.1Working on the fuel system
When working on the fuel system note the following warnings:
Audi TT 2007 ➤
WARNING
Risk of injury - fuel system operates under pressure.
♦ Wrap a cloth around the connection before opening the
fuel system. Then release pressure by carefully loosening
the connection.
The fuel can become extremely hot. This can cause injuries.
♦ In extreme cases the temperature of the fuel lines and the
fuel can be up to 100 °C 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.
Observe the following points to prevent personal injuries and
damage to the injection and glow plug system:
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting tester cables or electrical wiring for the injection or
glow plug system.
♦ Always switch off ignition before washing engine.
♦ Faults are stored in the engine control units if electrical con‐
nectors were unplugged and the engine was started: Inter-
rogate event memory in Guided Functions ⇒ Vehicle
diagnostic tester .
Caution
To prevent damage to the electronic components when dis‐
connecting the battery:
♦ Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before disconnecting the
battery.
Disconnect battery ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. Gr. 27 .

1.2Using testers and measuring instru‐
ments 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.
1.3Working on vehicles with start/stop sys‐
tem
When performing repairs on vehicles with start/stop system, note
the following:
WARNING
Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with
start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).
1.4Removing and installing components
from a full or partly full fuel tank
When removing and installing components from a full or partly full
fuel tank, note the following:
♦ Fuel tank must not be full. The amount of fuel which can be
left in the fuel tank is indicated in the corresponding procedure
description. Drain fuel tank if necessary ⇒ page 6 .
♦ Before commencing work, switch on exhaust extraction sys‐
tem and place an extraction hose close to the sender opening
in the fuel tank to extract escaping petrol fumes. If no exhaust
extraction system is available, a radial fan with a displacement
of at least 15 m3/h can be used (the fan motor must be clear
of the air stream).
♦ Avoid skin contact with fuel. Wear fuel-resistant gloves.
1.5Removing and installing fuel tank
♦ Fuel tank must be empty to reduce weight. Drain fuel tank if
necessary ⇒ page 6 .

2.1Rules for cleanliness when working on
fuel supply system and injection system
Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. For this rea‐
son, please observe the following rules when working on the fuel
supply system and injection system:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Seal off open pipes/lines and connections immediately with
clean plugs, e.g. from engine bung set -VAS 6122- .
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Use only lint-free cloths.
♦ Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be
carried out immediately.
♦ Only install clean components; replacement parts should only
be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts
that have not been stored in their packing (e.g. in tool boxes
etc.).
♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air
and do not move the vehicle.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.
Audi TT 2007 ➤
2.2Test conditions
•Battery voltage at least 12.5 V
•Fuel pump fuse OK ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault
finding and Fitting locations.
•Fuel pump relay -J17- OK ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical
fault finding and Fitting locations.
•Fuel pump control unit -J538- Ok; checking in Guided Fault
Finding ⇒ vehicle diagnostic tester .
•
Fuel tank at least 1/4 full.
•Fuel filter OK.
•Fuel lines OK (not obstructed or crushed).
2.3Contact corrosion!
Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners are used (e.g.
bolts, nuts, washers, etc.).
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are
used.
Additionally, all rubber and plastic parts and all adhesives are
made of non-conductive materials.

Note
♦
The procedure when using a fuel extractor without shaft end
is basically the same.
♦
In this case, make a mark -arrow- on the extraction hose at
distance -a- = 1,305 mm from the end of the hose using insu‐
lating tape. The extraction hose has been properly inserted
when the affixed mark is level with the edge of the filler neck.
♦
If hose is difficult to insert, apply a thin coat of engine oil. DO
NOT use silicone-based lubricant.
– Drain fuel tank as much as possible through fuel filler neck.
– Carefully remove extraction hose.
