Fuel distributor (VW Golf 2)

1. Disconnect the wire clamps from the battery.

2. Make sure that the car is in a well-ventilated area.

3. While holding a rag over the connection to avoid fuel splashing, loosen the pressure control connection on the start valve. The pressure control wire is connected to the large connection on the valve.

4. Mark each fuel pipe and its corresponding hole in the fuel distributor. Carefully remove dirt from around the fuel connections and the distributor hole, and then disconnect the fuel pipes.

5. Loosen and remove the pressure control pipe connection from the fuel distributor.

6. Remove the safety plug from the exhaust carbon monoxide adjustment screw, and then remove the three bolts securing the fuel metering distributor.

7. Lift the distributor, being careful not to let the measuring piston fall out. If the piston accidentally falls out, clean it in fuel and then install it back, with the chamfered end facing down.

8. Before installing the distributor, pay attention to whether the piston can move freely up and down. If the piston jams, the distributor must be replaced, since the piston cannot be repaired or replaced separately.

9. Install the distributor, putting on a new sealing ring, and after tightening the screws, protect them with paint.

10. Install the fuel pipes and put the safety plug on the screw for adjusting the carbon monoxide content in the exhaust gases.

11. Connect the clamps to the battery.
