Intake system, checking for leaks
(unmetered air)


Special tools and equipment

Notes:
Test sequence
VAS5051 with VAG5051/1Engine 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.
- Connect VAS5051 tester Page 01
-7 and select vehicle system "01 -
Engine electronics". Engine must run at idle for this.

Display on VAS5051:
If engine speed decreases: - Make note of engine speed in display field -1.
- Spray intake system parts with engine leak detection spray in a
systematic manner.
- Check sprayed part of intake system for leaks, and eliminate the error.
-
Press "08 - erase DTC memory" to end function -button.- Select "06 - End Output"
- Switch ignition off.
