Instructions and function description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. As of the 2001 model, a sucking jet pump -1-  is installed in Tiptronic vehicles! Refer to Fig 1 .
  2. The sucking jet pump -1-  is permanently linked to the hoses -connection A/B/C-  and, if replacement is necessary, the entire unit must be replaced!
  3. To make connection -C-  accessible, the engine must be lowered at the rear!

The sucking jet pump -1-  helps to increase the engine vacuum, connection -A-  , required for the brake booster, especially during the engine warm-up phase.

Function: by bypassing the throttle -D-  (bypass around the throttle from connection -B-  to connection -C-  ), the rate of flow and so the vacuum are increased locally by the sucking jet pump -1-  . Refer to Fig 1 . This greater vacuum is applied to the brake booster connection -A-  .
