Tools Needed:
- Socket set (metric sizes)
- Torque wrench
- Wrenches (various sizes)
- Fuel line disconnect tools
- Screwdrivers
- Pry bar (if necessary)
- Drip pan and clean rags
- Protective gloves and safety glasses
Installation Guide
- Preparation:
- Park your vehicle on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake.
- Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid any accidental electrical issues.
- Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning the installation.
- Depressurize the Fuel System:
- Locate the fuel pump relay and remove it to stop fuel delivery.
- Start the engine and let it run until it stalls, indicating that the fuel system has been depressurized.
- Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
- Access the High-Pressure Pump:
- Open the hood and locate the high-pressure pump mounted on the engine. It is typically located near the fuel rail and connected to the fuel lines.
- Remove any components obstructing access to the pump, such as intake hoses, engine covers, or other related parts.
- Disconnect the Fuel Lines:
- Place a drip pan beneath the pump to catch any fuel that may spill.
- Carefully disconnect the fuel lines using the appropriate fuel line disconnect tools. Fuel may still be present, so be prepared for a small amount of spillage.
- Set the disconnected lines aside safely, ensuring they are clean and free of contaminants.
- Disconnect the Electrical Connections:
- Locate any electrical connectors attached to the pump, such as the fuel pressure sensor. Disconnect these connectors carefully to avoid damage.
- Secure the connectors away from moving parts or areas where they may get damaged.
- Remove the Old High-Pressure Pump:
- Using your socket set, remove the bolts securing the high-pressure pump to the engine. There are typically three or four bolts that hold it in place.
- Carefully pull the pump away from the engine. If the pump is stuck, gently wiggle it or use a pry bar to free it. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the engine block or surrounding components.
- Inspect the mounting area for any old gasket material or debris, and clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the New High-Pressure Pump:
- Before installing the new pump (0 445 010 091 / 0 986 437 323), ensure it is clean and free of contaminants.
- Position the new pump, aligning it with the mounting holes. If required, place a new gasket or seal according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Secure the pump with the bolts, tightening them with a torque wrench to the specifications outlined in your vehicle’s service manual (correct torque settings are critical for proper operation).
- Reconnect the Fuel Lines:
- Reattach the fuel lines to the new pump, ensuring they are securely fastened and properly aligned.
- Double-check that the connections are secure to prevent leaks when the system is pressurized.
- Reconnect the Electrical Connections:
- Reattach the electrical connectors, making sure they are securely connected and free of any damage.
- Confirm that the connections are tight and secure before proceeding.
- Reassemble the Engine Components:
- Reinstall any components or covers that were removed to access the pump, such as intake hoses and engine covers.
- Double-check that everything is securely fastened.
- Reconnect the Battery:
- Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
- Prime the Fuel System:
- Reinsert the fuel pump relay.
- Turn the ignition to the “ON” position (without starting the engine) to allow the fuel system to prime. You may hear the fuel pump engage, indicating the system is building pressure.
- Repeat this process a few times to ensure the system is fully primed.
- Start the Engine and Check for Leaks:
- Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Monitor the high-pressure pump and fuel lines for any signs of fuel leakage.
- If you detect any leaks, turn off the engine immediately and inspect the connections for tightness.
- Test Drive and Final Inspection:
- If there are no visible leaks and the engine is running smoothly, take the vehicle for a short test drive to confirm everything is functioning correctly.
- After the test drive, perform a final inspection of the pump area for any signs of leaks or issues.
