Testing cooling system for leaks
Special tools, testers and aids required
♦ Cooling system tester (e.g. V.A.G 1274)
♦ Adapter (e.g. V.A.G 1274/8)
♦ Adapter (e.g. V.A.G 1274/9)
Test condition
l Engine at operating temperature
Test procedure
Important!
Hot vapours may escape when the expansion
reservoir is opened. Cover over cap with cleaning
rags and open carefully.
- Mount tester V.A.G 1274 with adapter V.A.G
1274/8 onto the expansion reservoir.
- Use the priming pump of the tester to
produce a pressure of about 0.1 MPa.
- If the pressure drops, locate the leakage
point and rectify fault.
Testing pressure relief valve in cap
- Screw cap onto the tester using adapter
V.A.G 1274/9.
- Operate the priming pump of the tester to
produce a pressure of about 0.15 MPa.
- The pressure relief valve should open at a
pressure of 0.12 ... 0.15 MPa.
