– Cracks in upper or lower parts of battery housing  
– Deformation of upper or lower parts of battery housing  
– Colour changes due to temperature impact and tarnishing of  
battery housing  
– Escaping electrolyte  
– Damage to high-voltage contacts  
– Legible and available information and warning stickers  
– Fitted potential equalisation line  
– Corrosion damage  
– ⇒ Rep. gr. 93; Diagnosis of high-voltage battery 1 [AX2].

Diagnosis of high-voltage battery 1  
[AX2]  
Important  
The high-voltage battery 1 remains installed in the vehicle  
during the diagnosis.  
– Carry out diagnosis of high-voltage battery using ⇒ Vehicle

Leakage test of high-voltage battery 1  
[AX2]  
Special tools and workshop equipment required  
♦ Directional valve -VAS 691 005/1-  
♦ Pressure and vacuum pump -VAS 671 005-  
♦ Pressure sensor -V.A.G 1397B-  
♦ Sealing plug -T10607-  
Important  
A leakage test must always be carried out before opening  
and after sealing the high-voltage battery 1 -AX2-.  
High-voltage battery 1 -AX2- is acclimatised.  
The leakage test and acclimatisation must be carried out at  
constant ambient temperature.  
– Check that gasket -arrows- is correctly seated.  
– Check connector strip for moisture, and carefully wipe it dry  
with a lint-free cloth.  
– Leakage test is performed using ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic test‐  
er⇒ Rep. gr. 00; Access to diagnoses.
