Charge pressure bypass valve, checking


Note:

The charge pressure bypass valve is located in
front of the turbocharger. It is opened by
vacuum during deceleration and when under
partial load at idle. This reduces charge air
pressure in front of the throttle valve and keeps
the turbocharger spinning at higher RPMs.
Check the charge pressure bypass valve if
experiencing reduced performance or turbo lag.

Special tools and equipment
VAG1390 hand vacuum pump

If valve does not open/close or valve plate does not seal correctly when
valve is closed: - Connect VAG1390 hand vacuum pump to vacuum connection on
recirculation valve.
- Operate hand vacuum pump.
Recirculation valve must open (arrow).
- After approx. 30 seconds, operate vent valve on hand vacuum pump.
Recirculation valve must close (arrow).

Charge pressure leak test with VAG
1687


Intake system, checking for leaks using VAG
1687 Diagnostic Tool
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to fuel
trim, charge pressure or mass air flow (MAF)
may be caused by:

Leaking (worn/torn) intake hoses during charge
conditions
Incorrectly torqued or improperly placed clamps
on intake hoses etc. causing leaks during
charge conditions

Check the charge air pressure system using the VAG 1687 Charge air
system tester.
Special tool VAG 1687 Charge air system tester preliminary set-up

- Back off pressure regulator knob -2- of VAG 1687 fully to protect gauge
when shop air supply is applied to assembly.
