Function  
      The camshaft adjustment is dependent on 
engine speed and load. The electrical solenoid 
valves for camshaft adjustment (-N205- and -
N208-) are switched to apply oil pressure to the 
mechanical camshaft adjusters, which adjusts 
the camshaft timing.

Note:  
     If, during the test drive, display field 3 and/or 4 
displays a value between 6.0  KW and 16.0  
KW, the electrical valves for camshaft adjustment 
have switched the oil pressure to the respective 
mechanical camshaft adjuster, but it cannot 
attain the correct end position (e.g. due to 
sluggishness).      
WARNING! 
     
A second technician is required to operate 
the VAG1551 scan tool during the road test.
