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.

Test sequence

If recirculation valve does not open or close or valve plate does not seal
correctly when valve is closed: - Attach VAG1390 vacuum pump to recirculation valve.
- Operate vacuum pump.

Recirculation valve must open (arrow)
- After approx. 30 seconds, operate vent valve on vacuum pump.
Recirculation valve must close (arrow)
- Replace recirculation valve. Secure connections of recirculation valve
using screw type clamps.

Note:
The recirculating valve for turbocharger -N249-
and wire connections are monitored by the
Engine Control Module (ECM).

- Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool
and select control module for engine electronics
using "address word 01". Engine must run at idle
for this:
