    • EN-46790 Puller

Removal Procedure

Warning: Always wear safety goggles when working with fuel in order to protect the eyes from fuel splash.

Warning: Fuel Vapors can collect while servicing fuel system parts in enclosed areas such as a trunk. To reduce the risk of fire and increased exposure to vapors:

   • Use forced air ventilation such as a fan set outside of the trunk.
   • Plug or cap any fuel system openings in order to reduce fuel vapor formation.
   • Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
   • Avoid sparks and any source of ignition.
   • Use signs to alert others in the work area that fuel system work is in process.

Warning: Place a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby before performing any on-vehicle service procedures. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury.

Warning: Do not allow smoking or the use of open flames in the area where work on the fuel or EVAP system is taking place. Anytime work is being done on the fuel system, disconnect the negative battery cable, except for those tests where battery voltage is required.

Note: Be very thorough in terms of cleanliness when working in the fuel system. Malfunctions can also occur due to very small dirt particles. Prevent dirt from entering the fuel system by cleaning the hoses and plugging the pipes and lines upon removal. Store the components so that contaminants cannot enter.

  1. Open the bonnet and place a wing cover over the right wing.
  2. Remove the battery cover and the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection.
  3. Remove the engine cover. Refer to Engine Cover Replacement.
  4. Remove the bolts (1) of the crankcase ventilation pipe.

  5. Object Number: 2018930  Size: SH
  6. Remove the upper timing cover bolts (2). Release clip (1) and press the turbocharger intake manifold forward.

  7. Object Number: 2018931  Size: SH
  8. Remove the bolts (1) and the bracket.

  9. Object Number: 2018932  Size: SH
  10. Detach the hoses on the high-pressure pump:
  11. • Plug all connections with plugs.

       Note: Have a cloth on hand to catch any fuel spill.

    • Release the clamp and detach the fuel supply hose (1) from the high-pressure pump. Plug the hose.

    Object Number: 2018972  Size: SH
    • Release the clamp and detach the return hose (2) from the high-pressure pump. Plug the hose.
    • Unplug the fuel pressure sensor connector (3) from the high-pressure pump.
    • Remove the bolts (4) of the return fuel piper.
    • Detach the high-pressure fuel line (5). Plug the nozzle pipe.
  12. When replacing the high-pressure pump: Move aside the return fuel pipe and secure to the nozzle pipe using a cable tie.
  13. When replacing the intake manifold/seal: Detach the return fuel line from the return fuel pipe. Use the EN-83 95 261 fuel line tool . Plug the connections.
  14. Note:  Have a cloth on hand to catch any fuel spill.

  15. When replacing the intake manifold/seal: Detach the hoses from the return fuel pipe. Remove the return fuel collector. Plug the connections.
  16. Place a cloth under the pump, not to lose the pulley wedge.
  17. Remove the pulley nut:
  18. Note: When affixing the pulley, use two hex socket head screws M6 X 40 (30 mm unthreaded and 10 mm thread). The screws must be tightened the whole length of the thread. This way the pulley is prevented from moving out of position.


    Object Number: 2018973  Size: SH
    • Turn the engine so it is possible to fit 2 Allen bolts (1) M6 x 40 (30 mm unthreaded and 10 mm threaded) through the holes in the pulley and to threads in the high-pressure pump bracket.
    • Remove the pulley nut (2).
  19. Remove the high-pressure pump from the pulley by pressing the pump out with EN-46790 puller (1). Counterhold with a 30 mm wrench (2). Remove the puller.

  20. Object Number: 2018974  Size: SH
  21. Remove the high-pressure pump:

  22. Object Number: 2018976  Size: SH
    • Remove the nuts and any washers (1). Use a magnet so as not to drop the washers.
    • Lift out the pump. Pay attention to the wedge.

Installation Procedure

    Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

  1. Install the wedge to the pump and put the pump in place. Install any washers and nuts (1). It is important that the wedge fits into the groove on the pulley. Tighten to 25 N·m(18 lb ft)

  2. Object Number: 2018976  Size: SH

  4. Object Number: 2018973  Size: SH
  5. Remove the bolts  (1) holding the pulley in place.
  6. Attach the hoses to the pump:

  7. Object Number: 2018972  Size: SH
    • Remove all plugs from the pump connections.
    • Remove the plug and attach the high-pressure fuel line  (5). If it is difficult to get the fuel pipe in place, slacken the fuel rail retaining bolts slightly. Tighten fuel pipes to 25 N·m(18 lb ft).
    • Remove the plug and attach the fuel supply hose  (1) and clamp to the pump.
    • Remove the plug and attach the return hose  (2) and clamp to the pump.
    • Attach the fuel pressure sensor connector  (3) to the pump.
    • Install the bolts  (4) of the return fuel pipe. Tighten to 9 N·m(80 lb in).
