What are the safety measures for working on VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2007 vehicles with auxiliary heaters?

The auxiliary heater must not be in operation or switched on in areas in which there is a risk of fire or explosion.

The auxiliary heater must not be in operation or switched on (including via a preset switch-on time) in closed rooms without an exhaust extraction system.

When working on a fuel system, always observe applicable safety regulations and rules for cleanliness.

If fuel system components (e.g. metering pump, fuel lines, fuel gauge sender) are removed or opened, the vehicle engine must not be started.

Before beginning repair work on the auxiliary heater, be aware of the danger of scalding injuries because the cooling system is pressurised and when the engine is warm, the coolant temperature may be above 100° C. If necessary, release pressure before carrying out repairs.

After completing repair work on the auxiliary heater or the fuel system, check the operation of the auxiliary heater.

After completing repairs on the auxiliary heater, carry out self-diagnosis using vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.


What should be noted when performing general repairs on VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2007 vehicles with auxiliary heaters?

One method of switching off the auxiliary heater is to press the ECON button.

Read self-diagnosis of auxiliary heater using vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.

If parts of the fuel system were removed or renewed, ensure that all components for fuel delivery to the auxiliary heater are properly installed.

Following repair work in the vicinity of the auxiliary heater fuel line, check:

that the fuel line fits flush with the vehicle underbody and is protected from mechanical damage.

that the auxiliary heater fuel line is protected from heating which might disturb operation.

that the fuel line does not come in contact with vehicle parts which heat up.


What are the rules for cleanliness when working on the auxiliary heater and the fuel system of a VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2007?
