-- Open the valve -3-.

CAUTION:

Damage could result if the pressure is set too high.

Pressure must not exceed 0.5 bar!

-- Set the pressure to 0.5 bar using the pressure control valve -2-.

-- Open the valve -4- and wait until the test circuit is filled. Regulate the pressure to 0.5 bar again if necessary.

-- Closes the valve -3-.

The drop in pressure must not exceed 0.1 bar in 30 seconds.

-- Inspect the charge air system for poorly sealed areas by listening, feeling, using commercially available leak detection spray or by using the V.A.G 1842.

NOTE:

For information on using the V.A.G 1842, refer to the operating Instructions.

Release the pressure in the test circuit by pulling off the hose coupling before removing the adapter.
