Volkswagen 1.8t Simple Vacuum Leak Test

This is a how-to for performing a simple boost or vacuum leak test on a VW 1.8t using a home-made inexpensive boost leak tester.

Though I'm working on a MK4 VW 1.8t, the basic idea should work with any turbo charged engine, VW or not. Please let me know if you have any questions, or comments, and I'll do my best to help you out!

My boost leak ended up coming from the fuel pressure regulator hose. I replaced that, and some of the EGR lines underneath the intake manifold to cover my bases since they were getting old also. If you have any questions regarding the replacement of parts, or would like a video showing you how to do so, just let me know and I'll see what I can do!

This video is meant as a guide and not an in depth instructional. This process is not difficult, but as with fixing anything on a car, it helps to have basic automotive knowledge. I'm not responsible for anything mistakes made during the boost test.
