Intake air system, checking for leaks
(unmetered air)


Special tools and equipment

Notes:
VAS5051 with VAG5051/1
orVAG1551 with VAG1551/3BEngine leak detection spray G 001 800 A1The negative pressure in the intake system sucks in the leak detection
spray with the unmetered air. Leak detection spray decreases ignition
quality and performance of the fuel mixture. This causes a reduction in
engine speed and a sharp increase of CO content. It is absolutely necessary to follow the safety precautions listed on the
can.
