Test sequence

WARNING: To avoid any risk of accident, observe the safety precautions when using test instruments while road testing the vehicle







- Connect T-piece and measuring hose of turbocharger tester V.A.G 1397 A to intake manifold (front).
- Route measuring hose under rear edge of hood and into passenger compartment via right-hand window.







- Switch on turbocharger tester and set measuring range selector switch to position -I- (absolute pressure).
- Connect measuring hose to connection -I-.

NOTE:
- Hose connections must be completely airtight, otherwise measurements will not be correct.
- Ensure that measuring hose is not pinched at hood or side window.
- Pressing memory key M on turbocharger tester will store the last measured value until memory key M is pressed again or tester is switched off.
- The decimal point in the display flashes to indicate that the value is being stored.
- If the battery voltage of the turbocharger tester drops below the minimum level, an arrow will appear at the top left of the display.
- Before performing the test, drive the vehicle at a brisk speed for at least 3 km (without stopping at traffic lights etc.).
- A second mechanic is required to note the readings on the tester when the vehicle is moving.
