Fuel Pump Question TFSI MK5 - Removal

(1/3) > >>

GLIDN:
So I know how to remove my pump that is not the issue.

But looking at this post on MK5GolfGTI
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,8339.0.html

Look at picture 4. Now this pump has a pressure relief valve.
Well sorry to say but mine does not.

So My Question is as follows.

Once I removed the battery etc. How do I release the pressure in the pump to save myself a face full of petrol?

bacillus:
If you don't have a schrader bleed valve here then just slowly and carefully unscrew the brass fitting till you hear a hiss, then stand back and let the pressure bleed off over a few minutes before proceding. It's wise to put a rag as shown to absorb the petrol that will come out.

Tfsi_Mike:

That's an unusual way to fix PCV issues  :grin:

Haha, good spotting.  :grin:


Still wondering If I'm removing the pump, I may as well install HPFP while I'm there. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
