Checking with engine leak detector spray G 001 800 A1

Special tools, testers, measuring instruments and auxiliary items required

  • ◆ Fault reader V.A.G 1551 or vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552 with cable V.A.G 1551/3
  • ◆ Engine leak detector spray G 001 800 A1

Notes:

  • ◆ The vacuum in the intake system will cause the leak detector spray to be drawn in with the outside 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.
  • ◆ The safety precautions listed on the container must be adhered to.

Test conditions

  • ● Coolant temperature at least 80 °C

Test sequence

  • ‒ Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 (V.A.G 1552) and select engine electronics control unit (address word 01); carry out selection at idling.
 
→ Indicated on display:
Rapid data transfer    HELP
Select function XX
  • ‒ Input 08 for "Read measured value block" function and confirm with Q.
 
→ Indicated on display:
Read measured value block    HELP
Input display group number XX
  • ‒ Input 01 for "Display group number" and confirm with Q.
 
→ Indicated on display:
(1...4 = Display zones)
Read measured value block 1    ⇒
    1    2    3    4

Only continue with the test when

  • ● The coolant temperature is above 80 °C
    -Display zone 2-
  • ‒ Press C key.
  • ‒ Input 04 for "Display group number" and confirm with Q.
 
→ Indicated on display:
(1...4 = Display zones)
Read measured value block 4    ⇒
    1    2    3    4
  • ‒ Observe Lambda probe voltage in display zone 3. The voltage must fluctuate in the range
        -22.5...22.5 %.
  • ‒ Systematically spray parts of the intake system with engine leak detector spray.
  • If the engine speed drops or when the Lambda adaption value in display zone 3 is outside the range
        -22.5...22.5 %:

    • ‒ Check for leaks in the area of intake system sprayed and eliminate leak.
