Hello everyone,

Due to an inaccuracy in my AFN code, I was overly enthusiastic and replaced the lower seal on the quantity control unit. I loosened the three screws, marked everything, and reassembled it. However, I didn't log the actual injection amount at idle before the repair using VCDS. The engine runs smoothly, starts well, and has normal fuel consumption, but I feel like it produces slightly more soot than before. Since I found many different values in searches and forums that range from 3 to 5.5 mg/stroke, I wanted to ask if anyone here knows the exact values for the AFN (warm engine, without any electrical load).

Thank you very much.

Hello.

Thank you for the precise information! I actually adjusted the fuel injection pump based solely on soot emissions and driving behavior to 4.6-4.8 mg/stroke. Before that, it was set at 3.8 mg/stroke, but it produced excessive soot, and anything above 6 mg/stroke results in a poor warm start.

Thank you again for the information; I can just leave the pump as it is then!

Best regards,
