Intake air system, checking for leaks
(false air)


Required special tools and test equipment

VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 Scan Tool (ST) with
VAG 1551/3 adapter cable
Engine leak detector spray G 001 800 A1

Notes:
If there are leaks, intake manifold vacuum will
draw in the leak detector spray with outside air.
The spray reduces the ability of the fuel/air
mixture to ignite, which causes a drop in engine
speed and a significant increase in CO-content.
Observe the safety precautions listed on the
container.

Checking

- Connect VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 scan tool and
press buttons -0- and -1- to insert "Engine
Electronics" address word 01 (with engine
running at idle) Page 01
