Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) function,
checking


Note:
The following test should only be conducted if
performance deficiencies occur.

- Increase engine rpm clearly above 4500 RPM.

Intake manifold tuning vacuum solenoid must be
actuated (solenoid is located on intake manifold,
left-front, under the ignition coils).
If the vacuum solenoid is not actuated:

- Check intake manifold tuning valve -N156-
(change-over valve) page 24
-156
.

- Check vacuum system for leaks page 24
-
162
.

- Check that vacuum lines are correctly installed,
do not leak and are not blocked.

- Check change-over mechanism for ease of
movement (activate change-over linkage by
hand).

Vacuum system, checking for leaks


- Let engine run 2 to 3 minutes at idle (for vacuum
to build up).

- Switch ignition off.

- Remove 2-pin connector from intake manifold
tuning valve -N156- (change-over valve).

- Connect jumper wire (from VAG1594) from one terminal of -N156- to
engine ground.
- Use VAG1248/3A remote, adapter wire VAG1348/3-2 and auxiliary
wire to connect second terminal of -N156- to B+.
- Activate intake manifold tuning valve -N156-, using remote control
VAG1348/3A, for approx. 2 to 3 min.
The vacuum solenoid must remain actuated during this time.
