1.1.1 General Information
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Evaporative Emissions Tester - KLI9210-
♦ Hose Clamps Up to 25 mm Dia. - VAS3094-
♦ Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
Use of the following tools depend on the vehicle model being tes‐
ted:
♦ Evaporative Emissions Tester - Adapter 52 - KLI9210/52-
♦ Evaporative Emissions Tester - Adapter 54 - KLI9210/54-
♦ Evaporative Emissions Tester - Adapter 57 - KLI9210/57-
The EPA-mandated leak detection threshold has changed over
time from 1.0 mm (0.040 in.) to 0.5 mm (0.020 in.). These changes
to EPA regulations regarding Evaporative Emission (EVAP) sys‐
tem integrity indicated that additional resources for more accurate
EVAP system diagnosis are necessary.
The Evaporative Emissions Tester - KLI9210- allows testing using
nitrogen to pressurize the EVAP system. A smoke generator or
ultrasonic tester is then used to locate the source of EVAP system
concerns.
The procedure in this chapter outline the general use of the Evap‐
orative Emissions Tester - KLI9210- . It is intended as a guideline,
as EVAP systems vary between models.

V144-
Leak detection monitoring was implemented in vehicles begin‐
ning in MY 1998 with the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) Leak
Detection Pump - V144- .

Pump V144 (LDP)”, page 4
Testing NVLD Equipped Vehicles with Fuel Tank Leak Detection
Control Module
Starting in MY 2011, some vehicles began to employ the fuel tank
leak detection control module to replace LDP for EVAP system
monitoring.
Refer to
⇒ “1.3 EVAP System Leak Test, Vehicles with Fuel Tank Leak
Detection Control Module (NVLD)”, page 8
1.1.2 Evaporative Emissions Tester -
KLI9210- , Self-Test
Note
♦ Always perform system self-test of Evaporative Emissions
Tester - KLI9210- prior to use to ensure that there are no leaks.
♦ Refer to Evaporative Emissions Tester - KLI9210- instruction
manual for specific instructions.
– Connect vehicle interface hose to self-test port -1-, ensuring
that fitting is finger-tight. Over-tightening will damage fitting.
– Turn control valve -2- to Test.
Gauge -3- should read 14 ± 1 in. of water.
If gauge does not read 14 ± 1 in. of water:
– Verify that valve on EVAP tester nitrogen cylinder is open and
that cylinder has sufficient pressure before continuing.
– Turn fine adjust regulator knob (-arrow-) until gauge reads 14
in. of water; tighten lock nut.
Note
If gauge still does not read within above range, contact K-Line
Customer Service - Technical Support for additional instructions
before continuing.

– Check flow meter -4-.
Meter must indicate no flow.
– Turn control valve to Hold position.
– Check gauge.
Gauge must hold pressure.
If gauge leaks down:
– Verify that vehicle interface hose is firmly seated and repeat
previous six steps before continuing.
If gauge continues to leak down:
– Use ultrasonic tester to locate and repair leak before continu‐
ing. Refer to
⇒ “1.1.5 Method 2: Locate Leak with Ultrasonic Tester”, page
3
Note
If the leak cannot be located or repaired, contact K-Line Customer
Service - Technical Support.
1.1.3 Evaporative Emissions Tester -
KLI9210- , Calibrate
Determine vehicle leak threshold:
To MY 2000 - leak threshold 0.040 in
From MY 2001 - leak threshold 0.020 in
– Attach test hose to appropriate preset port -black arrows-.
– Turn control valve from “Hold to Test”.
– Set flow meter flag -white arrow- at indicated value on flow
meter.
– Turn control valve to “Hold” then remove test hose.
1.1.4 Method 1: Locate Leak with Smoke
Generator
– Connect leads from smoke generator to vehicle battery.
– Use smoke generator trigger to charge fuel system with
smoke.
– Inspect complete EVAP system for escaping smoke.

If leak cannot be located:
– Disconnect and plug or clamp shut EVAP lines to isolate fuel
tank, using Hose Clamps Up to 25 mm Dia. - VAS3094- or
equivalent, before continuing.
Caution
Clamp only soft rubber lines when isolating a leak. To avoid
risk of damage, never clamp hard plastic lines!
If flow stops:
– Reconnect EVAP lines to search area that was isolated.
If leak or source of fuel odor cannot be found:
– Contact Audi Dealer Technician Helpline.
Caution
Under no circumstances should the vehicle be returned to the
customer without proper diagnosis and repair.
When leak has been located:
– Repair leak and repeat EVAP system test.
– Perform quality check and return vehicle to customer.
Note
♦ Because leak may be at top of fuel tank, it may not be possible
to locate through fuel pump/sending unit access plate.
♦ Fuel tank may need to be lowered to locate the leak.

eration. Remove and reinstall fuel cap before each test
– Perform quality check and return vehicle to customer.
Note
If the vehicle passes the above EVAP system test, DTC may be
sporadic; the entire EVAP system should be carefully inspected.
If the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester continues to indicate “System not
OK” after repeat test, proceed to next step.
1.2.2 Fuel Cap, Testing
– Connect fuel cap tester to hose.
– Screw fuel cap tightly to cap receiver -arrow-.
– Turn control valve to “Test”.
– Read flow meter on tester.
If no flow is indicated:
