Test prerequisites  
Engine oil temperature must be at least 30°C.  
The battery voltage must be at least 11.5 V.  
All electrical consumers, e.g. lights and rear window heating,  
must be switched off.  
If the vehicle is equipped with an air conditioner, it must be

lk  
– Remove spark plugs using spark plug socket and extension  
-3122B- .  
– Check compression using compression tester -V.A.G 1763- .  
Note  
Using compression tester ⇒ operating instructions .  
– Have a second mechanic fully depress accelerator and crank  
engine.  
– Operate starter until tester shows no further pressure in‐  
crease.  
Compression pressures:  
New: 10…15 bar  
Wear limit: 7.0 bar.  
Maximum permissible difference between all cylinders: 3 bar  
– Insert spark plugs using spark plug socket and extension  
-3122B- and tighten to 30 Nm.  
After the test has been completed:  
– Connect Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -  
VAS 5052- .  
– Carry out vehicle system test ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester „Gui‐  
ded fault finding“.  
– Finish the vehicle system test so that any fault entries stored  
during assembly can be deleted automatically.  
– Generate the readiness code in combination with a road test.  
Observe applicable safety precautions during road test.  
– Carry out road test.  
– Then carry out vehicle system test again and rectify any faults
