3.1Rules for cleanliness
Even slight soiling can cause faults. For this reason, observe
the following rules for cleanliness when working on the fuel
supply system, the charge air system and the injection system:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly
before opening.
♦ Seal open pipes and connections immediately with clean
plugs for example from the engine bung set -VAS 6122-.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface. Cover with lint-free
cloths only.
♦ If repair work cannot be performed immediately, carefully
cover or seal components.
♦ Install clean components only. Do not remove replacement
parts from packing until immediately before installing. Do not
use parts that have been stored outside their packaging (e.g.
in tool boxes).
♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air
or move the vehicle.
♦ Make sure that no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. Should this
occur, the fuel hoses must be cleaned immediately.
♦ Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and wa‐
ter, and reconnect them only when dry.
Touareg 2018 ➤
3.2Foreign objects in engine
♦ To prevent the ingress of foreign bodies during work on
the engine, seal open channels of the intake and exhaust
sections with suitable bungs, for example from the engine
bung set -VAS 6122-.
♦ To prevent subsequent damage when a cylinder bank is
damaged mechanically, check the intake and exhaust sec‐
tions as well as the combustion chambers of the opposite
cylinder bank for foreign bodies.
♦ In the event of mechanical damage on turbocharger refer to
⇒ page 435 .
3.3Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable connecting elements
(screws, bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface
coating have been fitted.
In addition, rubber, plastic and adhesives are made of non-con‐
ductive materials.
3. Repair instructions 7
Touareg 2018 ➤
6-cyl. direct injection (3.0 l, 4V, EA 839, turbocharger) - Edition 11.2020
If there is any doubt about the suitability of parts, a general rule
is to use new parts ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue.
Observe the following:
♦ Use only genuine parts which are tested and compatible with
aluminium.
♦ Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by
the warranty.
3.4Routing and attachment of lines
♦ To prevent interchanging and to maintain the original instal‐
lation position, mark the fuel, hydraulic system, vacuum and
ACF system pipes or any wiring for example prior to remov‐
al. Make sketches or take photographs if necessary.
♦ To avoid damaging pipes and wires, ensure adequate clear‐
ance from all moving or hot components in the engine com‐
partment on account of the confined space.
3.5Fitting radiator and condensers
Even if installed correctly, the radiator, the condenser and the
charge air cooler may have small dents in their fins. This does
not mean that these components have been damaged. It is
not permissible to renew radiators, condensers or charge air
coolers only because of such minor dents.
3.6Checking fuel system for leaks
– Allow engine to run at average revs for a few minutes.
– Switch off ignition.
– Check entire fuel system for leaks.
– If leaks are found although the connections have been tight‐
ened to the correct torque, the relevant component must be
renewed.
– Then test drive the vehicle, accelerating to full throttle at
least once.
– Then, check the high-pressure system for leaks again.

Procedure
♦ The engine is removed from underneath together with the
gearbox and subframe (with lock carrier installed).
♦ Fit cable tie in same place when installing.
♦ Observe rules for cleanliness ⇒ f3.1 or cleanliness”, page 7 .
♦ All bolts on running gear components with bonded rubber
bushes may be tightened only when the component is in the
unladen position (normal position).
♦ Bonded rubber bushes can be twisted only to a limited
extent. Axle components with bonded rubber bushes must
therefore be brought to a position equivalent to the unla‐
den (normal) position before being tightened. Otherwise, the
bonded rubber bush would be subject to torsion loading,
shortening its service life.
