COMPRESSION PRESSURE, CHECKING
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Spark Plug Removal Tool 3122 B
- Ignition Coil Puller T40039
- Compression Tester V.A.G 1763
Test Sequence
Note. Engine oil temperature min. 30°C (86°F) Battery voltage at least 12.7 V
Remove the engine cover -arrows-.
Scheme 393
Remove the bolts on the ignition coil connector strip.
Release the connector -arrows- and disconnect all the connectors at the same time from the ignition coils.
Scheme 394
Remove the ignition coils with the T40039.
Scheme 395
Remove the spark plugs using a 3122 B.
Check compression using V.A.G 1763 and V.A.G 1763/6.
Note. Using tester see operating Instructions.
Operate starter until tester shows no further pressure increase.
Compression Pressure
| New Bar Positive Pressure | Wear Limit Bar Positive Pressure | Difference Between Cylinders Bar Positive Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| 11.0 to 14.0 | 7.0 | Max. 3.0 |
Install the spark plugs. Refer to MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Install the ignition coils with output stages. Refer to Removal and Installation .
Note. By separating the connections, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored to memory. After the test, check the DTC memory and erase, if necessary.
Check the Engine Control Module (ECM) DTC memory. Refer to vehicle diagnostic, tester under "Guided Fault Finding".
