Charge air system with
turbocharger (engine code
ATW)

Checking mechanical recirculation valve

Notes:

The mechanical recirculation valve is located in
front of the turbocharger. It is opened by
vacuum via the recirculating valve for
turbocharger -N249- during deceleration, idle
and part throttle. This produces a reduction of
the charge air pressure in front of the throttle
valve which keeps the turbocharger spinning at
a higher RPM.
Check the recirculation valve in case of reduced
performance or part throttle hesitation.

Note:
The height of the charge air pressure should be
determined using the VAG1397/A turbocharger
test tool, the VAS5051 tester or the VAG1551
Scan Tool is used to determine whether the
charge air pressure is also being recognized in
the control module.
