What precautions should be taken regarding the fuel tank and battery disconnection on Volkswagen Jetta?

On five-cylinder models, whenever the fuel system has been opened it must be bled to prevent damage to the catalytic converter. Whenever the battery is disconnected, several systems must be re-teamed before they will work properly. The following procedure is much easier to perform if the fuel tank is empty. Begin by removing the fuel tank filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure, then relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, remove the rear seat cushion, disconnect the fuel pump control module for four-cylinder models, and disconnect the electrical connector and fuel supply line quick-connect fittings from the fuel pump module. For AWD models, ensure to remove the additional access cover and disconnect the transfer pump/fuel level sender connector. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then remove the right-rear wheel and the rear inner fender splash shield. On Golf models, open the fuel tank filler flap, remove the mounting fastener and plastic liner, then disconnect the fuel filler tube mounting fasteners and hoses. On all Jetta models and 2014 and earlier Golf models, unclip the ABS sensor wire from the bracket, remove the rivet and protective shield. Disconnect the exhaust system hangers and remove the center and rear mufflers from the vehicle. If equipped, remove the fuel filter and cap the fuel lines. During the next step, note that the fuel filler tubes remain attached to the fuel tank and are removed as a unit with the fuel tank. Support the fuel tank securely, remove the fuel tank mounting fasteners and the retaining strap mounting fastener, then remove the strap and carefully lower the fuel tank. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to tighten the fuel tank mounting fasteners to the specified torque. On five-cylinder models, bleed the fuel system, reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal, then start the engine and check for fuel leaks.

Volkswagen Jetta Fuel Tank

The Volkswagen Jetta Fuel Tank is a closed container where gasoline is stored so that toxic vapors are not emitted and a constant flow is provided to the engine during every drive. The Fuel Tank has an electric pump and a level sender fitted inside, and stout baffles make the fuel swarm around the pickup to ensure power is steady when turning, climbing a hill, or stopping suddenly. In addition to holding liquid, the tank will be connected to the EVAP system, where fumes will be directed to a charcoal canister to produce clean emissions. Over the years, this small sedan has been fitted with two major designs. The preliminary ones applied stamped steel welded together into a hard shell that is able to withstand most impacts but may rust when the paint is pierced by road salt or moisture. The subsequent models of the Jetta use a blow-molded high density polyethylene Fuel Tank, which is resistant to corrosion and weight loss but can still suffer punctures due to extreme heat or hard impacts. Both leave the factory to be pressure-tested and are fitted with new sealing rings and suspended under the body using metal straps that are exposed to the same rain, ice, and debris. When those straps are at work getting chewed up by corrosion, it is hard to loosen them, along with the tank. Regardless of the material applied, the mission remains the same, to have fuel securely stored in the real world, and to feed the engine without failures under any circumstances to the delight of every driver on the Volkswagen account. The Volkswagen Fuel Tank is a silent partner that daily commuters and weekend explorers depend on to make the familiar Volkswagen last mile after mile since it is hidden hardware underneath the floor.

Q: What precautions should be taken regarding the fuel tank and battery disconnection on Volkswagen Jetta?
A:
On five-cylinder models, whenever the fuel system has been opened it must be bled to prevent damage to the catalytic converter. Whenever the battery is disconnected, several systems must be re-teamed before they will work properly. The following procedure is much easier to perform if the fuel tank is empty. Begin by removing the fuel tank filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure, then relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, remove the rear seat cushion, disconnect the Fuel Pump control module for four-cylinder models, and disconnect the electrical connector and fuel supply line quick-connect fittings from the fuel pump module. For AWD models, ensure to remove the additional access cover and disconnect the transfer pump/fuel level sender connector. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then remove the right-rear wheel and the rear inner fender splash shield. On Golf models, open the fuel tank filler flap, remove the mounting fastener and plastic liner, then disconnect the fuel filler tube mounting fasteners and hoses. On all Jetta models and 2014 and earlier Golf models, unclip the ABS sensor wire from the bracket, remove the rivet and protective shield. Disconnect the exhaust system hangers and remove the center and rear mufflers from the vehicle. If equipped, remove the fuel filter and cap the fuel lines. During the next step, note that the fuel filler tubes remain attached to the fuel tank and are removed as a unit with the fuel tank. Support the fuel tank securely, remove the fuel tank mounting fasteners and the retaining strap mounting fastener, then remove the strap and carefully lower the fuel tank. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to tighten the fuel tank mounting fasteners to the specified torque. On five-cylinder models, bleed the fuel system, reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal, then start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
