High and low pressure testing
Before beginning
Check brake system (brake master cylinder, brake hoses, brake lines and brake calipers) for leaks and function.
High pressure testing
Scheme 84
- Remove bleeder screw at one of the front brake calipers. Connect pressure gauge V.A.G 1310 or V.A.G 1310A Brake Pressure Gauge V.A.G 1310/A and bleed.
- Install brake pedal loading device between brake pedal and driver seat. Apply pressure to brake pedal until gauge indicates a pressure of 50 bar. The pressure must not drop by more than 4 bar during the test period of 45 seconds. If pressure drop is large, replace hydraulic unit.
Low pressure testing
- Set brake pedal loading device back far enough that the pressure gauge indicates 6 bar positive pressure.
- The pressure must not drop by more than 1 bar during a test period of 3 minutes.
If pressure drop is large, replace hydraulic unit.
