Hi,

It's about my car from my house and yard.

Passat Variant 3BG 4-Motion 1.9TDI with 131 hp engine, first registration 2002.

It has too little vacuum at idle for the brake booster, so that it feels like stepping on a stone, while otherwise everything is normal during normal driving.

Yesterday evening, I meticulously inspected the two-piece pipe from the tandem pump to the BKV from all sides for any cracks, and everything was fine. When pulling it out at the BKV, I could clearly hear that the vacuum was escaping there, so it seems to be sealed as well. The vacuum hoses for the boost pressure control, AGR, and so on are all new.

Now, the only thing left for me to check is the tandem pump. The connection there is also quite loose, but I haven't figured out how the pipe is attached there.

What do these guys mean?

Regards, Rüdi

Weiters folgender Tipp aus obigem Link zum Anschluß-Stummel der Tandempumpe:

Hallo

Prüfe mal den Anschlußstummel in der Tandempumpe. Dieser ist aus Stahl und eingegossen oder eingepresst - je nach Hersteller der Pumpe - evtl. ist dieser locker, was natürlich zu Falschluft führt.

Was vielen nicht auffällt, ist die vermeintliche "Durchführung" des Unterdruckschlauches zum BKV in der Spritzwand, sie ist nämlich keine "Durchführung".
Das ist eine Verbindungssteckmuffe aus Gummi, in welche von jeder Seite einmal die Leitung motorseitig und einmal die Leitung vom BKV eingesteckt wird.
Diese Muffe bekommt gerne mal Risse, wird spröde und läßt Falschluft ins System.

TeileNr. für den AVF/AWX im 3BG ist 8D0611743B Preis ca. 5,28 EUR je nach Händler.
Machs einfach neu, meine im A4 sah damals äußerlich auch noch gut aus, der Austausch hat aber den Fehler behoben icon_wink.gif

Thank you for the information. This little thing can be replaced occasionally, and it doesn't cost much.

Good evening,
I'm not really a fan of swapping out parts randomly.
Why don't you measure the vacuum at idle and at increased RPM, then I would also check with a vacuum pump to see if the BKV is actually maintaining the correct vacuum and not dropping.
Best regards, Thilo
