Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Service & Repair Manual: Routing and securing wiring

This page requires marking Volkswagen Golf Mk7 lines before removal — to prevent them being interchanged and to guarantee correct reinstallation — applying to fuel, hydraulic, vacuum and electrical lines alike.

Mark lines prior to removal to prevent them from being interchanged and to ensure that they are fitted in their original positions. This applies for fuel, hydraulic and vacuum lines as well as lines for activated charcoal filter system and electrical wiring. Where necessary, make sketches or take photographs.
Due to the limited space in the engine compartment, it is important to ensure that there is adequate clearance to any moving or hot components to avoid damage to lines and wiring.
