|
Fig. 340: Suction Jet Pump, Function
Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN UNITED STATES, INC.
1 - Left suction jet pump
- The fuel tank in a vehicle with all-wheel drive is divided into a left and right chamber.
- To move the volume of fuel from the left fuel tank chamber to right baffle housing - 8
- of the fuel delivery unit, a suction jet pump - 1
- is utilized.
- A second suction jet pump - 7
- is positioned in the right fuel tank chamber and improves fuel supply to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit.
- Function of the suction jet pumps is based on a simple physical principle: A suction jet from the fuel return line - 3
- is compressed by a nozzle in the suction jet pumps - 1
- and - 7
- and is thereby accelerated. This acceleration causes the surrounding fuel to be drawn in and be forced to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit. The right suction jet pump - 7
- delivers directly into the baffle housing, the left suction jet pump - 1
- via a separate line - 4
-.
- The fuel from the return line is distributed to both suction jet pumps via the Y-fitting - 2
-. The distribution piece - 6
- limits the pressure in the lines to the suction jet pumps to approx. 1 bar. Excess fuel is guided into the baffle housing via a direct line.

Fig. 476: Suction Jet Pump, Function
Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN UNITED STATES, INC.
1 - Left suction jet pump
- The fuel tank in a vehicle with all-wheel drive is divided into a left and right chamber.
- To move the volume of fuel from the left fuel tank chamber to the right baffle housing - 8
- of the fuel delivery unit, a suction jet pump - 1
- is utilized.
- A second suction jet pump - 7
- is positioned in the right fuel tank chamber and improves the fuel supply to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit.
- Function of the suction jet pumps is based on a simple physical principle: A suction jet from the fuel return line - 3
- is compressed by a nozzle in the suction jet pumps - 1
- and - 7
- and is thereby accelerated. This acceleration causes the surrounding fuel to be drawn in and be forced to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit. The right suction jet pump - 7
- delivers directly into the baffle housing, the left suction jet pump - 1
- via a separate line - 4
-.
- The fuel from the return line is distributed to both suction jet pumps via the Y-fitting - 2
-. The distribution piece - 6
- limits the pressure in the lines to the suction jet pumps to approx. 1 bar. Excess fuel is guided into the baffle housing via a direct line.

Suction jet pump
Fig. 665: Identifying Suction Jet Pump Function
Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN UNITED STATES, INC.
The fuel tank in a vehicle with all-wheel drive is divided into a left and right chamber. To move the volume of fuel from the left fuel tank chamber - 3
- to the right baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit - 2
- , a suction jet pump - 1
- is utilized.
Function of suction jet pump
Function of the suction jet pump is based on a simple physical principle: A suction jet from the electrical fuel pump is compressed by a nozzle in the suction jet pump and is thereby accelerated. This acceleration causes the surrounding fuel to be drawn in and be forced to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit.
Malfunctions of faulty suction jet pump
CAUTION: |
If suction jet pump is faulty, the vehicle can stop running due to lack of fuel, though the fuel tank is up to 1
/4
filled. |
If suction jet pump does not function, up to 20 liters of fuel (up to approx.1
/4
tank) remain in left chamber of fuel tank, because it can not be extracted by the fuel delivery unit.
If vehicle stops running, although the fuel tank is approx.1
/4
filled, proceed as follows:
If fuel pump is OK, but no fuel is supplied:
- Fill fuel tank with approx. 5 liters of fuel.
- Start engine.
If engine starts now:

Leak detection system
Function
The leak detection system recognizes leaks in the complete fuel system, including the fuel tank, EVAP canister and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80.
On the mechanical side, the leak detection system consists mainly of a vacuum-driven diaphragm pump, that is equipped with a reed contact on the actuation rod of the pump diaphragm. The pump is supplied with vacuum via the engine intake stroke.
- When leak detection is activated, the diaphragm pump pumps the fuel system up to 20 to 30 mbar. The pump membrane is then moved outward, thereby setting the reed contact at the actuation rod to the "open" position.
- During leak diagnosis, the reed contact is monitored to check if it remains open within 15 seconds. This indicates the system is sealed.
- If pressure falls (indicating a leak), the diaphragm moves back and the reed contact closes.
- If reed contact closes within 15 seconds of leak detection time, a further test is performed: In this case the diaphragm pump pumps 4 times again. The engine control module (ECM) measures the time for each of the 4 pumps until the reed contact is closed again. From that, the control module can recognize a "small leak" (smaller than 1 mm in diameter) or a "large leak".
Leak diagnostic is activated automatically shortly following every engine start. If a malfunction is determined, an entry is made to the DTC memory. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster lights up if the malfunction is recognized for 2 subsequent starts. Leak diagnosis can also be activated using the vehicle diagnosis, test and information system VAS 5051 A -->

- Lines from EVAP canister to Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144.
- Line from fuel tank to EVAP canister (below cover for EVAP canister).
- Lines for tank ventilation (beneath right rear wheel housing liner).
NOTE: |
- Leaks at lines and components of tank system can sometimes be located using a non-flammable, environmentally compliant leak detection spray. For this, initiate leak diagnostic several times in sequence to build up pressure in the system. At leaking areas, bubbles will form.
|
- Visually inspect fuel system components and tank ventilation system:
- Fuel tank
- EVAP canister
- Leak detection pump (LDP) V144
- Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve N80
NOTE: |
- Because of shape or function of these components it is not always possible to find leaks by applying spray. It may be necessary to clamp off the relevant component using hose clamps up to diameter 25 mm 3094 and initiate leak detection diagnostic. If the leak is no longer detected, the component that was clamped off is faulty. If clamp is placed directly on the diagnostic pump and a leak is still detected, then the diagnostic pump itself is leaking

Checking EVAP system for leaks
Fig. 732: Identifying Leak Detection Pump (LDP) Outlet Hose (EVAP side)
Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN UNITED STATES, INC.
- Clamp off LDP outlet (EVAP side) - 1
- using Hose Clamps up to 25 mm dia. 3094 or equivalent.
CAUTION: |
Clamp only soft rubber lines when isolating a leak. To avoid risk of damage, never clamp hard plastic lines! |
- Turn control valve from "Hold" to "Test".
- Allow fuel system to pressurize.
NOTE: |
- Fuel system pressurization depends on volume of fuel system and amount of fuel in tank.
|
If fuel system pressurization does not stabilize:
- Verify that all fuel system outlets have been sealed before continuing.
NOTE: |
- Any flow shown on flow meter indicates a leak. Flow below flow meter flag set at vehicle leak standard may indicate a sporadic DTC.
|
If flow meter on tester registers flow near or above pre-set pressure:
- Clamp off hose leading from EVAP canister purge regulator valve N80 to intake manifold.
If flow stops:
- Replace EVAP canister purge regulator valve N80 and repeat test before continuing.
If meter indicates no flow after test:
- Perform quality check and return vehicle to customer.
If flow continues:
- Use smoke generator trigger to charge fuel system with smoke again.
- Inspect complete EVAP system for escaping smoke.
NOTE: |
- It may be necessary to move, twist, or wiggle EVAP components around to reproduce leak.
|
If leak cannot be found using smoke:
