Last night I was thumbing through Haynes and found the fuel depressurizing section. I seemed to remember that there was some difference between the Digijet and Digifant, but couldn't think of it when we were talking about swapping out the fuel line. On the Digifant, you just remove the fuel pump relay (left rear of engine compartment) and start the van until it runs out of fuel. However, on the Digijet, this won't work. The fuel pump relay controls both the fuel pump and the injectors, so if the injectors don't fire, you still have a pressurized fuel system. You need to disconnect the ground lead on the fuel pump, then start the van to burn the fuel. -Karl Karl and Kristina Bloss, Trexlertown, PA '87 GL Weekender "Beverley" Mechanic list: http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/vwshops Busses by the Trail - Oct 15-17, 1999: http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/bbtt |
