4) Check the exhaust flap

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The function of the exhaust flap affects the charging at different operating points through the generated counter pressure in the exhaust system. A continuously closed exhaust flap can lead to charging faults! The exhaust flap is activated by vacuum. A vacuum line which has been pulled off can suck in particles such as dust, salt water etc. and transport these to the vacuum pump. This can cause damage to the vacuum pump.
