Digifant injection and ignition system

Performing basic setting
Note:
The basic setting matches the Digifant control unit to the throttle valve potentiometer, idling stabilization valve and
the engine, at idling speed.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items
Fault reader V.A.G 1551 or vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552 with
07.93: Cable V.A.G 1551/1
08.93 : Cable V.A.G 1551/3
Ignition tester V.A.G 1767 or V.A.G 1367 with HT pick-up clamp V.A.G 1367/8
Check conditions
Engine oil temperature min. 80 C
Electrical consumers switched off (radiator
Air conditioner switched off
Accelerator cable adjustment OK

fan must not run during the check)

=> Repair group 20; Removing and installing parts of fuel supply system; Adjusting accelerator cable
Test sequence
Pull crankcase breather hose -1- off
pressure regulating valve -2- and route
so that only fresh air can be drawn in.

Connect ignition tester V.A.G 1767 or

ignition tester V.A.G 1367 with HT pickup clamp V.A.G 1367/8.
Interrogate fault memory, if necessary,
repair fault and erase fault memory.
