~1min read
Warning: when working on the fuel system, observe strict cleanliness, see page 94.
  • The fuel system is under pressure. Therefore, relieve the pressure in the system before replacing any parts. To do this, loosen the fuel line carefully and place a rag around the line when disconnecting it.

  • Before the fuel injection system is tested, make sure that the ignition system is in good order, i.e. the ignition and spark plugs must comply with the specifications.

  • Disconnect or connect the multi-pin connector of the control unit only with the ignition switched off. Make sure all connectors are seated correctly.

  • Do not start the engine without the battery securely connected.

  • Disconnect the battery before fast charging. Do not use a fast charger to start the engine.

  • Do not expose the control unit to temperatures above +80 °C.
