- Connect hand vacuum pump (V.A.G 1390) to connection of vacuum reservoir.
- Operate hand vacuum pump until a vacuum of 0.3 bar has been attained on the pressure gauge.

NOTE: Due to the large volume in the vacuum reservoir, up to 30 strokes may be required to generate a vacuum 0.3 bar.

- Observe pressure drop on pressure gauge.

Pressure must not fall below 0.3 bar after 3 to 5 minutes.

If pressure drops further:
- Replace intake manifold with vacuum reservoir.
