Clean Working Conditions

2005 Audi A6 3.2 TSECTION Clean Working Conditions

Even a little contamination can lead to faults. When working on the fuel supply and fuel injection system, observe the following guidelines for a clean working environment:

  • Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.
  • Plug open lines and connections immediately with appropriate protective caps.
  • Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths.
  • Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.
  • Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored unpacked (e.g. in tool boxes etc.)
  • When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
  • Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.
