Check changeover of radiator for exhaust gas recirculation
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t
Hand vacuum pump, e.g. -VAS 6213-
Work procedure
Note
The vacuum setting element for change-over flap is
accessible from below.
–
Remove the sound dampening system
→ Body Work; Rep. gr.50.
–
Unbolt heat shield for right drive shaft.
–
Detach vacuum hose from vacuum setting element.
–
Connect hand vacuum pump to vacuum setting element.
–
Actuate the hand vacuum pump in order to generate negative
pressure.
l
The vacuum setting element must open the change-over flap up
to the stop at maximum 0.08 MPa (0.8 bar) negative pressure and
in case of ventilation close it up to the stop -arrows-.
Note
t
For this test the opening of the change-over flap can be
performed in jolts. In driving mode the change-over flap opens
suddenly due to the large negative pressure volume.
t
The closing of the change-over flap must be carried out
suddenly when ventilating (e.g. detach vacuum hose).
If the vacuum setting element does not open or close the
change-over flap up to the stop:
–
Replace radiator for exhaust gas
