Fuel metering valve (N290)<br />

It is located in the supply line leading to the highpressure<br />

fuel pump and the fuel pressure<br />

regulator. It is attached to the suspension strut<br />

tower.<br />

Task<br />

253_049<br />

During normal operation, the valve is open and<br />

releases the path to the fuel pressure regulator.<br />

A hot start occurs when the coolant temperature<br />

is higher than 110°C and the intake air<br />

temperature is higher than 50°C at engine startup.<br />

In this case, the valve is activated by the engine<br />

control unit for approx. 50 seconds and closes<br />

off the path to the fuel pressure regulator.<br />

As a result, the pressure in the low pressure<br />

fuel system rises to the maximum feed pressure of<br />

the electric fuel pump, which is limited to 5.8 bar<br />

by an internal pressure limiting valve.<br />

This pressure increase prevents vapour bubbles<br />

from forming on the suction side of the highpressure<br />

fuel pump and allows a high pressure to<br />

build up safely.<br />

Failure strategies<br />

If the fuel metering valve fails, it is kept closed by<br />

a pressure spring. As a result, the pressure in the<br />

low pressure fuel system rises to 5.8 bar to<br />

prevent a vehicle breakdown during the hot start.<br />
