4 Attach pedal force meter (060) to brake pedal COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE TOOLS *WE58.40-Z-1003-19A 
5 Start engine and create a vacuum of 0.75 to 0.80 bar by accelerating and then suddenly releasing the accelerator pedal IMPORTANT If only a substantially lower vacuum is attained, or if the vacuum immediately falls away,
the gasket between the brake booster and the master brake cylinder may be damaged or the check valve in the vacuum line may be defective: ↓
 
    Check the check valve AR43.10-P-0023P 
    Removing and installing master brake cylinder, replacing gasket AR42.10-P-0310P
6 Apply specified force to the brake pedal and read line pressure To cover measurement errors as far as possible (wrong force on brake pedal, wrong vacuum) and measurement scatter of the gauges, a tolerance of ± 10 bar on the specified value is permissible.
IMPORTANT The measured value must be within the value range.
