With One Piece Intake Manifold






Vacuum Reservoir in Intake Manifold, Checking for Leaks

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Hand vacuum pump (VAS 6213) or hand vacuum pump (VAG 1390)

Test Conditions

Perform a visual inspection to check whether all vacuum hoses on intake manifold are not damaged and connected correctly.

Test Sequence

- Disconnect vacuum hose --> [ (Item 14) To ] from Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) valve (N316) from intake manifold.

When using the hand vacuum pump (VAS 6213):

- Set the slide ring - 1 - on hand vacuum pump (VAS 6213) to position - A - for " vacuum".





- Connect hand vacuum pump (VAS 6213) to connection of intake manifold.

- Operate hand vacuum pump until a vacuum of 0.3 bar has been attained on the pressure gauge.

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 for approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

If vacuum remains at 0.3 bar:

Vacuum reservoir in intake manifold is OK.

If vacuum drops.

- Replace intake manifold.
