Intake Air System For Leaks (Unmetered Air), Checking

Special tools and equipment







- VAS5051 with VAS5051/1
- Engine leak detector spray G 001 800 A1

NOTE:
- The vacuum in the intake system will cause the leak detector spray to be drawn in with the unmetered air. The leak detector spray reduces the ignitability of the mixture. This leads to a drop in engine speed and to a significant increase of the CO content.
- Adhere to the safety precautions listed on the container.

Test sequence
