– Check on fuel system tester - KLI 9210- if there is enough fluid  
in smoke generator.  
– Set valve -D- to “Hold”.  
– Open nitrogen bottle -H-.  
– Connect test hose -G- to self-test connection -B-.  
– Set valve -D- to “Test”.  
– Regulate pressure to 10 in. H2O (25 mbar) with pressure re‐  
ducer -J-.  
– Set valve -D- to “Hold”.  
– Now pressure must be maintained for at least 2 minutes.  
Check tester if pressure is not maintained.  
Checking fuel system for leaks:  
– Connect adapter hose - KLI 9210/55-1- to breather line -A-.  
(colour marking: white)  
– Connect measuring hose -G- from fuel system tester - KLI  
9210- to adapter hose - KLI 9210/55-1- .

4-cyl. injection engine (1.8 and 2.0 l engine, chain drive) - Edition 08.2018  
– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester to vehicle.  
– Start engine and run at idling speed.  
– On vehicle diagnostic tester , select operating mode Guided  
Functions .  
– Select guided function “Checking tank ventilation system for  
leaks”.  
– Initiate test.  
– Observe pressure gauge - KLI 9210- while test is running.  
Fuel system diagnostic pump - V144- must pump up pressure  
in fuel system to at least 7 in. H2O (18 mbar).  
The minimum pressure was not reached, but the available pres‐  
sure does not drop.  
⇒ page 400 . If no pressure drop can be detected: Check  
⇒ page 404 .  
The minimum pressure was not reached and the available pres‐  
sure drops immediately:  
– Clamp off hose to activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 -  
N80- using a hose clip -arrow-.  
– Repeat check. If the minimum pressure is reached now, renew  
activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 - N80- .  
If the minimum pressure was again not reached and the available  
pressure drops immediately:  
– Leak in fuel system: Perform “leak detection in fuel system”  
⇒ page 402 .  
Switch off ignition if the minimum pressure is reached.  
The valve in the fuel system diagnostic pump - V144- closes and  
the pressure is retained.  
– Observe pressure gauge:  
If the pressure does not drop at first, perform a pressure retention  
test to localise any potential small leaks ⇒ page 400 .  
If the pressure drops, clamp off hose to activated charcoal filter  
solenoid valve 1 - N80- using a hose clip -arrow-.  
– If the pressure does not drop again, renew activated charcoal  
filter solenoid valve 1 - N80- .  
If the pressure still drops, perform “leak detection in fuel system”  
⇒ page 402 .

4-cyl. injection engine (1.8 and 2.0 l engine, chain drive) - Edition 08.2018  
– Set valve -D- to “Test”. Set the available pressure to 10 in. H2O  
(25 mbar).  
– Observe pressure gauge -C- and flow meter -E-. When the  
throughput quantity decreases and the pressure increases to  
10 in. H2O (25 mbar), the fuel system is filled.  
Note  
Depending on the filling level of the fuel tank, this process can  
take up to 3 minutes.  
– Once pressure has stabilised, set valve -D- to “Hold”.  
After 5 minutes the pressure must remain at or above 8 in.  
H2O (20 mbar).  
If the pressure is not held for at least 5 minutes, localise leak as  
follows:  
– First check activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 - N80- for  
leaks. To do this, clamp off hose to activated charcoal filter  
solenoid valve 1 - N80- using a hose clip -arrow-.  
– Repeat pressure test by setting valve -D- again to “Test”.  
– Observe pressure gauge and flow meter. When the through‐  
put quantity decreases and the pressure increases to 10 in.  
H2O (25 mbar), the fuel system is filled.  
– Once pressure has stabilised, set valve -D- to “Hold”.  
– If the pressure does not drop again, renew activated charcoal  
filter solenoid valve 1 - N80- .  
If the pressure still drops, perform “leak detection in fuel system”  
⇒ page 402 .  
After completing work, perform guided function “checking fuel  
tank ventilation system for leaks” using vehicle diagnostic tester .

Leak detection in fuel system  
Test specification:  
Procedure for “checking fuel system for leaks” has been com‐  
pleted ⇒ page 398 .  
Fuel system tester - KLI 9210- is connected to vehicle via  
adapter hose - KLI 9210/55-1- .  
– Connect fuel system tester - KLI 9210- to vehicle battery.  
– Remove rear right wheel housing liner.  
– Clamp off hose between fuel system diagnostic pump - V144-  
and air filter -arrow-.

– Set valve -D- to “Test”.  
– Observe pressure gauge -C- and flow meter -E-. When the  
throughput quantity decreases and the pressure increases to  
10 in. H2O (25 mbar), the fuel system is filled.  
– Once pressure has stabilised, set valve -D- to “Hold”.  
After 5 minutes the pressure must remain at or above 8 in.  
H2O (20 mbar).  
– If the pressure no longer drops, renew fuel system diagnostic  
pump - V144- .  
If the pressure is not held for at least 5 minutes or does not build  
up, localise leak as follows:  
– Fill fuel system with smoke, set valve -D- again to “Test” for  
this.  
– While fuel system is being filled, press button -I- for smoke  
generator for approx. one minute.  
The fuel system is now pressurised and filled with smoke.  
– Check whether smoke escapes from any fuel system line or  
hose. Also check fuel tank cap.  
Note  
Light up the components and hoses with a strong floodlight. In  
the floodlight, smoke is more visible.  
For leak detection in accessible areas, also use ultrasonic  
meter or commercially available leak detector spray.  
Depending on how long the fault finding takes, it may be nec‐  
essary to press the smoke generator button from time to time.  
This ensures that sufficient smoke is present in the fuel sys‐  
tem.  
To inspect flanges for fuel pump and fuel filter, open assembly  
opening in vehicle interior.⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester  
– Renew leaking hoses or components.  
After completing work, perform guided function “checking fuel  
tank ventilation system for leaks” using vehicle diagnostic tester .

Note  
The fuel system diagnostic pump - V144- is fitted in the rear right  
wheel housing behind the wheel housing liner.  
– Remove rear right wheel and wheel housing liner.  
– Pull off vacuum line -1- from fuel system diagnostic pump -  
V144- .  
– Connect turbocharger tester - V.A.G 1397A- with T-piece and  
hose ∅ 6mm, between vacuum line -1- and fuel system diag‐  
nostic pump - V144- -2-.  
– Switch on measuring range I (absolute pressure measure‐  
ment).  
– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester and start engine.  
– On vehicle diagnostic tester , select operating mode Guided  
Functions .  
– Select guided function “Checking tank ventilation system for  
leaks”.  
– Initiate test.  
– Observe display on turbocharger tester - V.A.G 1397A- while  
test is running.  
Pressure must pulsate and must remain at or below 0.7 bar  
(absolute pressure) during test.  
– If pressure exceeds 0.7 bar during test, vacuum supply is too  
low. Check vacuum line to intake manifold for possible kinks  
or blockages.
