Special tools and workshop equipment required

  • ◆ V.A.G 1526 A
  • ◆ V.A.G 1594 A
  • ◆ V.A.G 1598 A
  • ◆ V.A.G 1598/11

Note:

Engines in line with emission standard ECE 15.04 (=> Coding control unit, Page 01-52) only have one Lambda probe for bank 1.

Test sequence

  • ‒ Unplug Lambda probe connector for left hand or right hand cylinder bank.
