  1. Remove front left underbody cover General body repairs, exterior66Underbody cover; Removing and installing underbody covers. [Note: The illustration shows the valve mounting with valves from above.]
  2. Pull vacuum hose (1) to differential lock valve 2N126 off connecting piece (arrow).
  3. Pull vacuum hose (2) to differential lock valve 1N125 off connecting piece (arrow).
  4. Connect hand vacuum pumpVAS 6213 to pulled-off vacuum hoses one after the other and then generate a partial vacuum of 0.6 bar.
  5. Observe pressure gauge of hand vacuum pumpVAS 6213 for approx. 30 seconds.

  1. First pull vacuum hose off at hand vacuum pumpVAS 6213.
  2. If the non-return valve functions properly, a clear hiss is audible when vacuum in vacuum hose is released.
  3. Reconnect vacuum hoses to T-piece.
  4. Connect hand vacuum pumpVAS 6213 to differential lock valve 1N125 or to differential lock valve 2N126 and generate a partial vacuum of 0.6 bar.
  5. Observe pressure gauge of hand vacuum pumpVAS 6213 for approx. 30 seconds.
  6. Renew leaking parts.
  7. Check following vacuum hoses:

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
