INSPECT Checking     
21 Check connecting points of hydraulic lines (1), suction hoses (2a, 2b) and return line (3) for leaks IMPORTANT Connect filling unit and allow the maximum filling pressure of the filling unit (2.5 to 3.0 bar) to be applied statically for 10 minutes. Then check the connecting points of the hydraulic lines (1), suction hoses (2a, 2b) and return line (3) for leaks.
Even the smallest drops of brake fluid are a sign of leakage!
WARNING: NOTES In particular, the connecting points (VA, VB, VC, VD) of the suction hoses (2a, 2b) must be checked very carefully (tissue paper or similar):
  • VA: Suction hose connecting point (2b) to a expansion reservoir (11),
  • VB: Suction hose connecting point (2b) to a suction line (2),
  • VC: Suction hose connecting point (2a) to a suction line (2) and
  • VD: Suction hose connecting point (2a) to a SBC hydraulic unit (A7/3).

Visual inspection is not enough as even minimal leakage which is not detectable at first glance can lead to malfunctions of the SBC system.
IMPORTANT Finish "SBC" diagnosis after leaktightness test.
