I have no real correct answer to what it does except equallize pressure.
When mine went it was from a slow clogging which became intermittent.
Totally disabled the car.  If I could drive it back to MA from FLA I could do 
no more than 25MPH and the raw fuel backfires melted the rear bumper cover.
Swapping that two screw thingy SOLVED the issue and was ALARMINGLY a night an 
day difference.

Warning:
Only info I could find was in a Bosch CIS book about it. (had no Bentley) and 
the first  one in the junk yard was BAD.
Cross references ared VW 5 cylinder ones.
I have NO idea if one from a 4cyl works in a 5cyl.
so go for a direct match.
