2.1 Safety precautions when using testers


and measuring instruments during a
road test
Please note the following if test and measuring equipment has to
be used during a test drive:

WARNING

There is a risk of accident if the driver's attention is distracted


or if the test and measuring equipment is not adequately se‐
cured during the test drive.
Injuries can also be caused if the passenger's airbag is trig‐
gered in a collision.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test and measuring
equipment is not secured.
• Move the passenger's seat back as far as possible.
• Only the vehicle diagnosis device must be used.
• The test and measuring equipment -1- must rest horizon‐
tally on the passenger's thighs as illustrated and must be
operated by the passenger.

and a maximum test speed of 5 km/h.
If these specifications are not respected there may be reactions
from the braking systems (EDS regulation).
In this case the engine must be stopped and the ignition turned
off for the test. If necessary, run the engine briefly in order to build
up enough pressure for brake operation.

1.1 Repair instructions for repair work on


ABS
The following configurations are possible on vehicles with ABS
from TRW:
♦ ABS
♦ ABS/ESC
The ABS brake system is divided diagonally. The vacuum servo
brake pneumatically increases the braking force.
Problems related to the ABS affect the braking system and the
amplifier. The conventional brake system remains functional even
without ABS. A change in braking behaviour is to be reckoned
with. After the ABS warning lamp comes on, the rear wheels may
lock prematurely during braking.

Repair instructions for repair work on ABS
♦ Before commencing work on the ABS systems it is necessary
to interrogate the fault memory in order to check complaints
and conduct specific fault finding.
♦ Only separate connectors when the ignition is switched off.
♦ Before commencing work on the ABS systems, switch off the
ignition and disconnect the earth strap at the battery ⇒ Elec‐
trical System; Rep. gr. 27 .
♦ If the battery earth strap is disconnected and connected, carry
out additional operations ⇒ Electrical System; Rep. gr. 27 .
♦ Welding work using electric welding equipment may affect the
ABS system.
♦ Before commencing welding work using electrical welding
tool:
– Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery
and cover the negative terminal.
– Connect the earth connection of the electric welding tool di‐
rectly to the part to be welded. There must not be any electri‐
cally insulated parts between the earth connection and the
welding point.
– Electronic control units and electrical wiring must not touch the
earth connection or the welding electrode.
♦ During paint repairs, the electronic control unit can be tempo‐
rarily exposed to temperatures of maximum 95°C and long-
term (about 2 hours) of maximum 85°C.
♦ Do not drive the vehicle with Bolts disconnected from the con‐
trol unit.
♦ When carrying out work on the antilock brake system, ensure
scrupulous cleanliness, on no account use agents containing
mineral oils, such as oil, greases, etc.
♦ Thoroughly clean connection points and the surrounding area
before disconnecting, but do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents, such as brake cleaner, petroleum, thinner or similar.
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them.
♦ Carefully cover or seal opened components if the repairs are
not carried out immediately (use plugs from repair kit 1H0 698
311 A).
♦ Use lint-free cloths.
♦ Only take spares out of their Protected
packaging just before

♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air


and do not move the vehicle.
♦ Ensure that no brake fluid enters connectors.
♦ Observe the relevant information when handling brake fluid.
♦ After completing work which involved opening the brake sys‐
tem, bleed brake system with brake filling and bleeding de‐
vice , e.g. -VAS 5234- .

1. General instructions 9
Toledo 2013 ➤
Brake system: - Edition 09.2015

♦ During the final road test, ensure that at least one ABS-con‐
trolled braking operation takes place (pulsations must be felt
at the brake pedal).

1.2 Distinguishing features of the ABS sys‐


tems
♦ ABS - wheel control system when braking. It prevents the
wheels from locking during a brake application initiated by the
driver.
♦ ESC - electronic stability control The system recognises criti‐
cal driving conditions and stabilises the vehicle by individual
wheel braking and by intervention in the engine control. This
occurs independently of the brake or accelerator pedal acti‐
vation.
♦ EDL - electronic differential lock is a starting-off aid. An elec‐
tronically controlled brake application on the spinning driven
wheel provides a torque reaction point for the differential. This
enables the wheel with better traction to make use of the en‐
gine power. This also applies when reversing.
♦ TCS - traction control system. Prevents the driving wheels
from slipping when accelerating by throttling the engine power
output. This is possible over the entire vehicle speed range.
The EDL and TCS functions act together to assist accelera‐
tion.
♦ MBA - mechanical brake assistance.
♦ HBA - hydraulic brake assistance.
♦ EDC - Engine Drag Torque Control. Prevents the driving
wheels from locking, if suddenly the accelerator pedal is re‐
leased or when braking with a gear engaged.
♦ EBD - electronic brake pressure distribution.
♦ ASC - automatic steering control. Recommends to the driver
a change in the steering position, which under certain condi‐
tions can increase the efficiency of the ESC.
♦ HHC - Hill Hold Control. Enables an easy driving off on uphills,
without the vehicle rolling back

♦ TPM (RKA) - System for tyre pressure inspection


♦ RKA (TPM) - Tyre inspection display
♦ BPS - hydraulic assistance of the brake servo unit. Ensures
the brake pressure increase in case of emergencies for ex‐
ample during numerous or steadily forceful brake applications.
♦ RBS - Brake disc dryer system. By means of briefly braking
(unnoticeable to the driver) it ensures that the brake discs of
the front wheels are dry and clean during rainy weather.
♦ TSA - Trailer Stability Assist. The vehicle tension stability sys‐
tem is a Software upgrade of the brake and stability control
ESC which avoids the dangerous swaying of the trailer.

4.4.1 Notes on checking 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 unit
♦ Seal between brake master cylinder

permitted unless authorised by SEAT S.A. SEAT S.A does not guarantee or accept any liability with
♦ Retaining valve respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by SEAT S.A.

♦ Vacuum hoses with connectors


♦ Vacuum pump (when installed)
Measuring results will be influenced by the geographical location.
The higher the location is above sea level, the lower the air pres‐
sure will be.
Take note of the following test requirements:
♦ 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.

4.4.2 Connecting vacuum gauge for brake


servo - VAS 6721-
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Brake servo tester - VAS 6721-

– Pull vacuum hose out of brake servo.


First press the brake pedal several times in order to facilitate re‐
moval of the vacuum hose.

♦ The average earth atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1.013


mbar and falls the higher you travel (approx. 100 mbar / 1,000
m height). Local and time variations also influence the 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.

may be replaced more economically.

Caution

Risk of damage to brake lines.


♦ The flaring tool set V.A.G 1356 must not be used for the
black brake lines because of the coating and the diameter
of these brake lines.
♦ Do not bend brake lines more than 90°; this would cause
kinks or other deformations which would excessively re‐
strict the brake lines. Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not

Note

♦ Preferably separate brake lines at underbody.


♦ Choose the position of the intermediate elements so that they
do not rub on mobile elements.
♦ Do not lubricate the edge cutting spindle, use alcohol to clean
it.

6.1 General notes on brake fluid

Note

♦ Always use fresh brake fluid.


♦ In case of brake fluid spillage, rinse with a copious amount of
water.

DANGER!

Before performing the first test drive, make sure that the brakes
are operating correctly.

WARNING

The brake fluid must not enter into contact at any time with
liquids containing mineral oil (oil, petrol, cleaning products).
Mineral oils damage covers and sleeves of brake system.
Brake fluid is toxic and should never be sucked by mouth using
a flexible tube. Also, due to its corrosive nature, it should never
enter into contact with paintwork.

in this
air-tight containers.
Observe all standards for disposal of waste.

The brake fluid is hygroscopic, that is, it has a tendency to absorb


humidity and water from the air.
The boiling point decreases as the water content increases, which
means a considerable rise in brake fluid temperature can lead to
formation of vapour bubbles and brake failure.
The colour of the brake fluid becomes darker over the course of
time. At the same time, a dark-coloured liquid must not mean that
the quality is bad. The change in colour is caused by chemical
reactions and may occur within a short period (several weeks),
particularly in vehicles equipped with ABS.

WARNING

The rubber parts of the braking system (sleeves, seals) are not
compatible with mineral oil, petrol or cleaning products.

180 Rep. gr.47 - Brakes - hydraulics


Toledo 2013 ➤
Brake system: - Edition 09.2015

Even minute quantities coming into contact with a seal or sleeve


will affect the component and could impair brake operation. The
consequences of a contaminated brake system only become ap‐
parent months later, and then give rise to greater expenses,
particularly in vehicles equipped with ABS.
A - Sleeve (original size)
B - Sleeve (swollen due to contact with mineral oil)
Summary of the above mentioned points:
♦ Always keep brake fluid containers properly sealed. This is the
only way to ensure that oil, dirt, cleaning products and humidity
do not enter.
♦ Brake fluid containers should be kept completely separate
from oils (including hydraulic fluid) and cleaning agents to pre‐
vent any mixture of fluids or even filling of the brake system
with an incorrect fluid.
