The fuel pump with the electric drive

In all versions of Audi A4 engines the fuel pump with the electric drive is inserted into the case of an inlet collector below in a fuel tank.
Positive current he receives via the relay of the fuel pump (the head the Electrotechnical equipment). The scheme with blocking provides turning on of the pump only if the engine works. Information that the engine works, the relay receives from the control unit. The scheme with blocking should not allow ignition because of leak of gasoline as a result of accident.

Here it is checked, whether gasoline gives the fuel pump. For this purpose the recirculation hose (2) is disconnected in a junction. Put on a hose the giving fuel-supply line (1) and lower it in capacity.


Six-cylinder engine:

1 – recirculation pipeline;
2 – the giving fuel-supply line;
3 – fuel pressure regulator.

Search of malfunctions in the fuel pump with the electric drive

First of all check a safety lock (the head the Electrotechnical equipment). If it as it should be:

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Sometimes by listening it is possible to receive information, whether the pump works: listen under the car at height of a fuel tank, whether the pump when your assistant includes ignition turns on for a short time.
  2. If the sound of operation of the pump, probably it as it should be is heard. If you hear nothing, check, whether fuel moves:
  3. Dismantle the giving or recirculation fuel pipe and lower it in capacity.
  4. Even at the idle engine a little fuel as in fuel system there is certain residual pressure has to act.
  5. If is not present, a way your assistant will put a starter in action.
  6. Now the fuel pump has to give fuel.
  7. If it is not present, it is necessary to check the mnogoshtyrkovy socket above on a deaf flange of a fuel tank, whether current to the pump arrives in general:
  8. Cast away a floor covering of a luggage carrier.
  9. Unscrew a black cover.
  10. Disconnect the mnogoshtyrkovy socket.
  11. The voltmeter or control lamp check, whether there is voltage about 12 V between contacts of the socket 1 and 4 (a brown and green/yellow wire). To take measurement, your assistant has to put a starter in action (the gear shifting lever in neutral situation, is switched on the emergency brake).
  12. If, despite the correct tension, the pump does not work, it is faulty – dismantle and replace it.
  13. If there is no tension, the relay is possible, faulty. About its check see in the head the Electrotechnical equipment.
  14. Among other sources of malfunctions it is necessary to call: defect in a wire to the relay or to the pump, got littered or will bend a fuel pipe, the main filter got littered.
