1General repair instructions
1.1Safety precautions
When working on the fuel system note the following warnings:
WARNING
Risk of injury - fuel system operates under high pressure.
♦ To reduce the pressure in the fuel system, wrap a clean
cloth around the connection and carefully loosen the con‐
nection.
Perform the following steps before starting to work on the fuel
supply system:
Audi TT 1999 ➤
WARNING
Mobile phones can cause an explosion risk.
♦ Ensure that any mobile phones are well clear of the work‐
bay.
Caution
Electronic components are susceptible to damage.
♦ Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery.
♦ Disconnect battery ⇒ Rep. Gr. 27 .
♦ Briefly open filler cap for fuel tank and close again.
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 tank is indicated in the corresponding procedure description.
Drain the tank if necessary. Procedure:
Before commencing work, switch on exhaust extraction system
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.

When removing and installing the fuel tank, note the following:
Fuel tank must be empty to reduce weight. Drain the tank if nec‐
essary. Procedure:
Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. When work‐
ing on the fuel supply system and injection system, pay careful
attention to the following basic rules:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Seal off open lines and connections with clean plugs or sealing
caps immediately.
♦ 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 been previously unpacked and stored away loose
(e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.
1.3Test conditions
•Battery voltage at least 12.5 V
•Fuse for fuel system pressurisation pump -G6- 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 tank at least 1/4 full.
•Fuel filter OK
•Fuel lines OK (not obstructed or crushed).

1.4Contact 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.
Always install new parts if you are not sure whether used parts
can be re-fitted ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .

10.6Tank leak diagnostic system
Function
The tank leak diagnostic system detects leaks in the complete
fuel system, including fuel tank, activated charcoal filter, activated
charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 -N80- and activated charcoal filter
solenoid valve 2 -N115- .
The mechanical components of the tank leak diagnostic system
consist primarily of a vacuum-driven diaphragm pump, with a reed
contact located on the operating rod of the pump diaphragm. The
vacuum required is supplied to the pump from the engine intake.
♦ The diaphragm pump delivers a pressure of 20 ... 30 mbar to
the fuel system when the tank leak diagnostic system starts
up. In this condition the pump diaphragm is extended, so the
reed contact located on the operating rod is in the “open” po‐
sition.
♦ The diagnostic system detects whether the reed contact re‐
mains open for 10 seconds. In this case the fuel system is free
of leaks.
♦ If the pressure drops (indicating a leak), the diaphragm returns
and the reed contact closes.
♦ If the reed contact closes within 10 seconds, there is a leak.
The diaphragm pump is then activated for another 4 strokes.
For each stroke the engine control unit measures the period
of time it takes for the reed contact to close again after pres‐
sure delivery. In this way the control unit can distinguish be‐
tween a “small leak” and a “large leak” (larger than 1 mm
diameter).
The diagnosis is activated automatically shortly after every engine
start. If a fault is detected, the fault is stored in the fault memory.
A fault message is displayed in the instrument cluster if the fault
is detected during two consecutive road trips. The diagnosis func‐
tion can also be activated with the vehicle diagnostic, testing and
information system -VAS 5051 B- ⇒ page 86 .

All vehicles (continued):
– Check whether the seals on the flanges are damaged and
whether the union nuts on the fuel tank flanges are properly
tightened. Also check whether the fuel lines are connected
properly.
Note
Observe notes on installing flanges ⇒ page 33 , ⇒ page 66 and
⇒ page 73 .
– Perform a visual check on all pipe/hose connections of the fuel
tank system and renew leaking pipes/hoses, e.g.:
♦ Line between activated charcoal filter and activated charcoal
filter solenoid valve 1 -N80- (in engine compartment)
♦ Lines between activated charcoal filter and fuel system diag‐
nostic pump -V144- (below front right wheel housing liner)
♦ Line between fuel tank and activated charcoal filter (behind
cover for activated charcoal filter).
♦ Fuel tank breather pipes behind right wheel housing liner.
♦ Fuel lines to engine.
Note
Leaks in pipes and components of the fuel tank system can
sometimes be detected by applying a non-flammable, environ‐
ment-friendly leak detecting spray. Initiate a tank leak diagnosis
repeatedly to build up pressure in the system. Bubbles will form
at the leak.

Fuel supply system, petrol engines - Edition 06.2007
Note
♦
Due to the shape or function of these components it is not
always possible to detect leaks by applying leak detecting
spray. If this is the case, clamp off hoses going to the respec‐
tive component using hose clamps 3094 and initiate tank leak
diagnosis. If no leak is then found after clamping off the hoses,
the corresponding component is defective. If the hoses are
clamped off directly at the diagnostic pump and a leak is still
indicated, there is a leak in the diagnostic pump itself.
Renew O-rings if activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 2 N115- is leaking ⇒ Item 9 (page 75) .
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
TT Coupé:
– Install rear seat bench ⇒ Rep. Gr. 72 .
TT Roadster:
– Install back panel side trim ⇒ Rep. Gr. 70 .
