Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

3 Brake test

3.1 General
♦ The drive is provided by the roller dynamometer.
♦ For vehicles with a manual gearbox, ensure that the gear lever
is in neutral for the test. For vehicles with an automatic gear‐
box, ensure that the selector lever is in »N«.
♦ For the test, observe the specifications provided by the man‐
ufacturer of the roller dynamometer.

Note

The brake regulation systems do not function when ignition is off.

3.2 Test for vehicles with front-wheel drive


The brake test must be performed on a single-axle roller dyna‐
mometer.
The maximum test speed must not exceed 6 km/h.
The test rigs authorised by Volkswagen fulfil these requirements.

3.3 Test for vehicles with four-wheel drive

3.3.1 On a regulated roller dynamometer with


counter-rotating rollers for four-wheel
drive vehicles

Note

The brake test must be performed on a controlled counter-rotating


single-axle roller dynamometer for four-wheel drive vehicles.

“Counter-rotating” means that the dynamometer rollers of the sin‐


gle-axle roller dynamometer are driven forwards on one side and
backwards on the other.
The rollers drive the wheels of one axle in opposite directions to
avoid transmitting torque to the other axle.
“Regulated” means that the speed of the brake test stand rollers
is so controlled so that there is no difference in speed during the
brake test.
This prevents the transfer of a force through the stationary wheels
(not on the set of rollers) via the propshaft to the rotating wheels
on the rollers.
The forward rotating wheel is measured during the test, which
means two brake tests per axle must be performed.
The maximum test speed must not exceed 6 km/h.
The test rigs authorised by Volkswagen fulfil these requirements.

3.3.2 Without roller dynamometer for four-


wheel drive vehicles

Note

If no test rig is available for four-wheel drive vehicles, the brake


test can also be carried out on a standard single-axle roller dy‐
namometer as follows:

– Drive vehicle forwards onto the rollers.


– Switch engine off and wait for 2 seconds.
– Carry out front brake test.
– Start engine and wait for approx. 5 seconds until sufficient
vacuum has been built up.
– Drive vehicle forwards until rear wheels are positioned on roll‐
ers.
– Switch engine off and wait for 2 seconds.
– Carry out rear brake test.
– Start engine and wait for approx. 5 seconds until sufficient
vacuum has been built up.

3.4 Testing the electromechanical parking


brake

3.4.1 Vehicles with front-wheel drive:


Activate »TÜV mode«:
• Seat belt is fitted
• Rear axle on single-axle roller dynamometer
• Ignition remains switched on
• Auto-hold is switched off
• Front wheels must be stationary
• Rear wheels must rotate at constant speed between 2.5 and
9 km/h for at least 5 seconds.
Entering »TÜV mode« is indicated by the yellow electric parking
brake and handbrake fault warning lamp - K214- lighting up.

Note

In »TÜV mode«, the electromechanical parking brake does not


close fully when the button is first pressed.

The tension is increased gradually by actuating the electrome‐


chanical parking brake button - E538- 4 times in succession.
Actuating the electromechanical parking brake button - E538- a
fifth time releases the electromechanical parking brake.
End »TÜV mode«:
• Front wheels, speed over 0 km/h
• Rear wheels, speed lower than 2.5 km/h or over 9 km/h

45 – Anti-lock brake system


1 General notes on anti-lock brake sys‐
tem
The ABS brake system is divided diagonally. The servo-assis‐
tance is effected pneumatically by the vacuum brake servo unit.
Vehicles with ABS are not fitted with a mechanical brake pressure
regulator. Specially matched software in the control unit regulates
the brake force distribution on the rear axle.
Faults in the ABS do not influence the brake system and servo
assistance. The conventional brake system remains functional
even without ABS. A change in braking behaviour is to be reck‐
oned with. After the ABS warning lamp comes on, the rear wheels
may lock prematurely during braking.
ABS layout in left-hand drive vehicle:
1 - Hydraulic unit and control unit
2 - Brake servo

ABS layout in right-hand drive vehicle:


1 - Hydraulic unit and control unit
2 - Brake servo
The control unit and hydraulic are combined in a single compo‐
nent. Separation is not possible. Hydraulic pump must not be
separated from hydraulic unit either.

2 Notes for repair work on anti-lock


brake system
♦ Before carrying out repair work on the anti-lock brake system,
determine the cause of the fault as well as the control unit code
using “Guided Fault Finding”.
“Guided fault finding” is carried out with the ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic
tester.
♦ Disconnect battery earth strap with ignition switched off.
♦ Before carrying out welding work with an electric welding unit,
note ⇒ General Information; Body Repairs, General Body Re‐
pairs .
♦ When working with brake fluid, observe the relevant safety
precautions and notes ⇒ page 78 .
♦ After work for which the brake system had to be opened, bleed
the brake system with brake filling and bleeding equipment -
VAS 5234- or -V.A.G 1869- ⇒ page 78 .
♦ During the final road test, ensure that a controlled brake test
is performed at least once (pulsations must be felt at the brake
pedal).
♦ Absolute cleanliness is required when working on the anti-lock
brake system. It is not permitted to use any products which
contain mineral oil, such as oils, greases etc.
♦ Thoroughly clean all unions and the adjacent areas before
loosening. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as
brake cleanser, petrol, thinners or similar.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover.
♦ After separating control unit from hydraulic unit, use transport
protection for contact pins.
♦ If repairs cannot be carried out immediately, carefully cover or
seal open components. (Use sealing plugs from repair kit
1 H0 698 311 A).
♦ Only use lint-free cloths.
♦ Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to fitting.
♦ Only use genuine packed parts.
♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air
and do not move the vehicle.
♦ During painting operations, the electronic control unit can be
exposed to a maximum temperature of 95 °C for only a short
period, and to a maximum of 85 °C for longer periods (approx.
2 hours).
♦ Ensure that no brake fluid enters connectors.

(VW 501 14).

Note

♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. Also due to its corrosive effect brake


fluid must not come into contact with paintwork.
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture
from the ambient air and should therefore always be stored in
air tight containers.
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.

A pre-pressure of 2 bar is required for bleeding the hydraulic unit.

Bleeding sequence:
1 - Bleed front left and front right brake calipers simultaneously.
2 - Bleed rear left and rear right brake calipers simultaneously.
– Leave bleeder valves open with brake fluid hoses connected
until brake fluid free from air bubbles flows out.
Hydraulic unit must then be bled again by means of the function
“Basic setting” with the ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
Initiate basic setting (to bleed brake system):
Connecting ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester and selecting functions
⇒ page 10 .
– Then bleed brake system as normal.

4.1.2 Bleeding (normal):

5.5 Checking brake servo vacuum system


The following instructions are intended to help you find the causes
of problems effectively and objectively in the event of complaints
about the brake servo or in the event of a so-called »hard brake
pedal«.
This check relates to the following components:
♦ Brake servo
♦ Oil seal between brake master cylinder and brake servo.
♦ Non-return valve
♦ Vacuum hoses with connectors
♦ Vacuum pump (if there is one)
When evaluating the measuring results, bear in mind that they will
be influenced by the geographical location. The higher your lo‐
cation is above sea level, the lower the air pressure will be.
Before checking the vacuum system, please take note of the fol‐
lowing prerequisites for checking:
♦ Visual inspection of all vacuum hoses for damage (e.g. cracks
or marten bite) and to check that they are correctly and firmly
attached
♦ Ensure cleanliness when working on vacuum system
♦ Before starting work, clean engine compartment if necessary
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Vacuum gauge for brake servo - VAS 6721-

5.5.2 Checking vacuum generation

Note

♦ The average air pressure of the earth's atmosphere at sea


level is 1013 mbar and decreases steeply as the altitude in‐
creases (approx. 100 mbar/1,000 m altitude). Local and time
fluctuations also influence vacuum generation.
♦ A cold engine, a switched-on air-conditioning system as well
as engine idling have an adverse influence on generation of a
vacuum.

– Before starting work, check all vacuum hoses for damage (e.g.
cracks or marten bite) and to check that they are correctly and
firmly attached
– Connect brake servo vacuum gauge - VAS 6721-
⇒ page 86 .
– Open cut-off valve -A-.

– Close cut-off valves -B+C-.


– Start warm engine (>60° C), press accelerator briefly (engine
speed greater than 2000/min).
– Read indicated measured value.
Normally (see notes), the vacuum that is generated should be
between 600 and 950 mbar (depending on engine size).
If the measured value is not reached even through the precondi‐
tions (see notes) have been met, the vacuum system must first
be checked for leaks.
– For comparison purposes, generate the vacuum with the man‐
ual vacuum pump - VAS 6213- ⇒ page 89 .
Open cut-off valve -B- to facilitate removal of hose connections
and adapter.

WARNING

♦ The reducing agent can irritate the skin, eyes and respi‐
ratory system.
♦ If the skin comes into contact with this fluid, immediately
wash off with a lot of water.
♦ Consult a doctor if necessary.

Caution

Protect electrical plug-in connections with suitable means, e.g.


plastic bag and cable ties, before wetting with reducing agent.
Due to the high tendency to creep combined with subsequent
crystallisation of the reducing agent, the electrical connections
can be damaged.
Seal all openings of the hose and connections immediately
with suitable sealing plugs in order to prevent the ingress of
dirt. Even very small particles of dirt can cause considerable
damage to the system.
Always make sure that reducing agent never comes into con‐
tact with clothing or parts of the vehicle body.
If this nevertheless happens, wash the reducing agent off with
clear water and a lint-free cotton cloth.
If the reducing agent has already crystallised, wet it with warm
water and a sponge.
Residual reducing agent that is not removed crystallises after
a while and can damage the surfaces affected.

Vehicles with diesel engine and SCR system (Selective Catalytic
Reduction)

WARNING

♦ The reducing agent can irritate the skin, eyes and respi‐
ratory system.
♦ If the skin comes into contact with this fluid, immediately
wash off with a lot of water.
♦ Consult a doctor if necessary.

Caution

Protect electrical plug-in connections with suitable means, e.g.


plastic bag and cable ties, before wetting with reducing agent.
Due to the high tendency to creep combined with subsequent
crystallisation of the reducing agent, the electrical connections
can be damaged.
Seal all openings of the hose and connections immediately
with suitable sealing plugs in order to prevent the ingress of
dirt. Even very small particles of dirt can cause considerable
damage to the system.
Always make sure that reducing agent never comes into con‐
tact with clothing or parts of the vehicle body.
If this nevertheless happens, wash the reducing agent off with
clear water and a lint-free cotton cloth.
If the reducing agent has already crystallised, wet it with warm
water and a sponge.
Residual reducing agent that is not removed crystallises after
a while and can damage the surfaces affected.

Connection:
1- Union nut, 14 Nm
2- Ring
3- Flange F
4- Flange E, cannot be pinched
5- Nut, counterhold when tightening.

8.2 Repairing brake lines


The flanging tool for brake lines - VAS 6056- can be used to flange
brake lines with an outer pipe diameter of 5 mm without damaging
the coating. In certain cases, this allows sections of brake lines
to be renewed at less expense.
The use of flanging tool V.A.G. 1356 is not permitted due to the
coating and the diameter of the black brake lines.

Note

♦ Brake lines may only be bent to max. 90°, as they otherwise


kink or display deformations which constrict the cross-section
of the line to an impermissible degree.
♦ Preferably separate brake lines at underbody.
♦ The positions of the intermediate pieces must be selected so
that they cannot chafe on moving parts.
♦ Do not grease spindle; merely clean with methylated spirits.
