- Selfadaptation of mixture formation
Affected functions:

- Engine diagnosis
- Exhaust system

-------------------------------------------------

Test 1: Check exhaust system for leaks.

Test 2: Check self-adaptation of mixture formation.

Test 3: Check component G3/3 (Left O2 sensor, before TWC [KAT]).

1. Check exhaust system for leaks.
Possible cause of fault

- Leakage on catalytic converter at flange connection to exhaust manifold and in area of O2 sensor
Possible remedy

- Check O2 sensor for correct seating, tightening torque and leaktightness.
- Check weld seams on catalytic converter for leaktightness.
