- Open throttle fully again and close.

Skipping individual tests:
- Press -> button.

If one or more fuel injectors do not click:
- Continue output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) to the end.
- Switch ignition off.
- Check fuel pump relay.
- Checking fuel injector actuation (resistance and current supply), refr to "Fuel Injectors, Checking". Testing and Inspection

To activate Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -N80-:
- Press -> button.

Indicated on display

Output Diagnostic Test Mode(DTM) ->
EVAP canister purge regulator valve -N80-


- The EVAP canister purge regulator valve must click until the next component is activated by pressing the -> button.
- Disconnect hose off purge regulator valve (from EVAP canister).
- Connect auxiliary hose.
- During output DTM blow into auxiliary hose (in direction of throttle housing).
- Valve must open and close

If the purge regulator valve does not open and close:







- Disconnect 2-pin connector from valve and connect VAG 1527B voltage tester with test leads from VW 1594.

- The LED must flash.

If LED flashes:
- Replace EVAP canister purge regulator valve.

If LED does not flash:
- Switch ignition off.
