Every year VW has a competition for dealership employees. They call it RQC Retail Qualification Championship. It consists of several rounds of testing. In round 3 technicians submit a video explaining direct injection fuel systems. Here is my submission.

Very clear presentation. I believe you are going to win.
An AXE against the fuel tank!?!? What is this, a Pinto? Probably better than using Dr. Winterkorn’s head though.
Nice video, but you went a but too mad with the editing there. ^^
always good to keep updated..do you read any books or dealerships send you to do training???
Hope you win I watch every video you do you are very talented
Good luck hope you win
Nice
Interesting. Had a high pressure fuel pump problem recently, thankfully certified pre owned and was replaced quickly on my 2012 turbo beetle
Great vid my friend
Great video man. Congrats on making it to the finals. I didn’t make it past round 3 this year but made it to the finals in 2014. It was a lot of fun but super challenging. I’ll try again next year. Best of luck, you will have a lot of great techs to compete against.

Kudos to VW for offering opportunities like this to their techs.
This was great Charles and best of luck, I hope you make it to the next round.
I passed the first round in 2013 and was 1 of only 7 who made it thru the first round in the whole Southeast region that year but sadly due to having to move unexpectedly I couldn’t continue on. I miss VW. 🙁
Hello everyone AND WELCOME! 😉 Love ya buddy, good luck!!
excellent presentation…..!!!
You get a thumbs up just for the MIB2 reference!
do the injectors have a loud clicking noise?
Neat video!
great video! I always enjoy learning something new.
Nice!! Well done, Charles! Best of luck to you in the competition! 😀
Ha, I thought charles an advantage because VW likes to confuse people.
Great video.
not sure i have faith in VW cars after 2002 models. they are just filled up with sensors and complex tools . for simple that fuel injection valve on video 4.48 . it will fill up the holes in no time of the fuel injection valve.
The ECM is the brain. The heart is the water pump. :-p
Hope you make it all the way man. There are many great techs in VAG, who do awesome work and go out of their way to satisfy their customers needs, but you seem to be the only one going as far as you can to explain how, and why VWs (and to some extend Audis) need this work, or that maintenance. For a guy like me, who grew up rebuilding things like my ’66 Mustang, some of these systems get a little complicated to understand, but with a little guidance from an experienced hand are quite easy to work on. So basically big thanks for your videos man, you’ve helped me keep my ’07 GLI Fahrenheit destroying Hondas. Good luck!
Great Video Charlie ! Hope you win ! Greetings from Alaska
Very informative video Charles! However the 4 lobes are on the exhaust camshaft not intake camshaft on the particular engine you are showing. Keep up the amazing content, very enlightening to young up and coming technicians like myself.
I think you have got the blue ribbon. Now if you can just make my 1.6L Kia Soul make more than 130 hp — I will buy you coffee for life….
(no turbo or supercharging allowed, all ideas will be judged by Jason EE)
When your gonna send me that vr6 clutch ? Email me 17yaua@gmail.com
Amazing and very professional video!! Coming from a master tech (9 ASECerts + A&P license) you have a very good understanding of GDI and are also very talanted when it comes to video editing!!

Why does the ECU PWM the low pressure fuel pump instead of simply driving it on solid? I thought the low pressure fuel pump was not metered and was sending constant pressure/volume. Is it because it is a return-less system?
Great video. Difference between Canada and the USA. US does it every year for their dealership employees. I’ve been at a VW dealership almost 4 years and they only offered it once here in Canada. Americans get all the good things :).
Way to go Charles, good luck!
That was awesome!
