In this video I will be showing you how to disassemble the fuel distributor.
THIS VIDEO IS FOR ENTERTAINING PURPOSES ONLY, DON'T USE IT AS GUIDELINE FOR THE DIS- AND REASSEMBLY ON YOUR CAR!!! I just want to demystify this system and to show you everything as well as its heart(the fuel distributor) how it looks like open.

There are some other disassembling methods in which you won't damage the diaphragm but I would recommend you to buy the replacement kit. The fuel distributor I am using in this video as reference is off from a car that was not started for God knows how long, it's rusty and it will never be mounted on a car, so I had that freedom to do some things less carefully so the diaphragm got ruptured and an o-ring on the barrel. From what I have seen, I have realized that you will probably never have to disassemble this part off your car(maybe in some extreme cases if the car was not started for a year or even longer...), eventually in order to replace the 2 green o-rings on the EHA and the black one which the plunger rests on. If you have to do this anyway, use oil as a lubricant because I used none.
And again I want to stress it here - I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE ON YOUR CAR. EVERYTHING YOU DO WITH YOUR FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AS ON THIS VIDEO YOU ARE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY!!!

What am I talking about?
My topic is the KE-Jetronic injection system which I try to demystify as much as I can.
For all of you to understand the system in brief - Developed in 1973 and being mounted into cars up to 1993 as it went in history. But why these to letters!?(KE) K(from German "kontinuierlich" meaning continuos, without interruption) the MECHANICAL injection system on which the fuel starts flowing from the fuel tank sucked by the FUEL PUMP and delivered to the FUEL DISTRIBUTOR which sends fuel to the INJECTORS while the majority of it flows through the FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR through its return line back to the fuel tank again. The letter E(electronic) has to mark the electronic sensors (the developement starting from early eighties) which had to inform the ECU about the current state of the engine so that the ECU(Electronic Control Unit) then could create current signal in mAmp(miliampers) and send it to four crucial components for the system - the EHA(the electro-hydraulic actuator,a unit consisting of a magnet, an electromagnet and a baffle plate) which had to fine tune the engine in each of its phases, the ICV(the idle control valve), the unit which was predicted for the engines perfect idle, the X11(the diagnostic socket) where the duty cycle(the ideal mixture) was adjusted and the X11/4(the code reader) - the socket which from any codes were read if present using an OBD1 scanner.
An extraordinary injection system which could be fully repaired in your own garage using a multimeter and a pressure gauge only for its fine tuning, together with some common tools.
