Natural Vacuum Leak Diagnosis (NVLD)

MODEL

[NEW] All models with NVLD

INFORMATION

TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NVLD SYSTEM

Evaporative system leakage is found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

[NEW] If a fault is identified when using the NVLD leakage test plan, the following points should be verified.

1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed.

2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected.

3. [NEW] Search for leakage using the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW: always pressurize the system without smoke, and

monitor the flow meter and decay pressure gauge for system leakage. If leakage is present, briefly smoke the system to determine the location

of the leakage. Refer to the attachment when connecting the VACUTEC Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW to the evaporative system.

Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Do not replace any parts unless a leakage is found using the smoke machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS WHEN USING THE VACUTEC SMOKE MACHINE

Testing evaporative systems for leaks is very challenging. We have developed some diagnostic hints and special tools to properly connect a

smoke machine to the NVLD fresh air vent/filter connection.

Attached is a detailed procedure for connecting the smoke machine to a vehicle using Natural Vacuum Leak diagnosis (NVLD).

Recently the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW was added to the BMW Equipment Program. The VACUTEC(R) Smoke

Machine 625-522B-BMW is the only approved testing device for the fuel and evaporative systems. This device automatically converts air to

high purity nitrogen, using Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) nitrogen technology. Orders for the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine,

625-522B-BMW, can be placed by calling the BMW Equipment program at 1-888-222-7997.

Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the vehicle. It is

always suggested not to disturb the system before testing; try to create as little disturbance as possible to the system when connecting the

smoke machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUV(R) smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which

helps pinpoint the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the

included Hi-Density True UV LED light and incandescent white light are used.

When testing the vehicles evaporative system using the flow meter on the VACUTEC smoke machine, the ball indicator should not lift from

the zero measurement on the scale when the system is leak-free. All BMWs are designed to be 100% leak-free. A flow meter indicating zero

flow would be the same as placing your finger over or kinking the application hose of the VACUTEC smoke machine (no flow = 100%

leak-free).

For more information regarding evaporative system testing describing possible fire hazards using oxygen vs. nitrogen, please refer to the

following SAE website: www.sae.org/technical/papers/2007-01-1235

SUBJECT

Rattling Noise from the Front Passenger Side Trim

MODEL

F01

F02

F04

Produced from August 2008 to July 2012

SITUATION

A rattling or clattering noise may be heard from the front passengers side footwell area when driving on rough roads.

CAUSE

The front passengers footwell trim makes contact with the side cover of the instrument panel.

PROCEDURE

Confirm the rattling noise is coming from the footwell trim near the glove compartment bottom.

1. The area of concern is where the plastic pieces of the footwell trim make contact with the lower instrument panel trim.

2020-2020 BMW 750i (F01) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 17

2. Refer to ISTA Repair Instruction 51 45 1950, "Remove and refit or replace the lower right hand trim for the instrument panel."

3. Apply a felt strip (10 x 35 x 2 mm) to the lower instrument panel trim, as shown in yellow.

Note:

Make sure the felt is not visible to the customer, after the trim is reassembled.

4. When reinstalling the trim, check the gap between the glove compartment and footwell trim. If the gap is larger than 2 mm, proceed to the next

step.

2020-2020 BMW 750i (F01) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 18

5. Modify the footwell trim reinforcing rib (as shown) by shaving the plastic rib down far enough to achieve the proper trim gap. Use a sharp

knife to shorten the height of the rib, to allow the footwell trim to fit higher and reduce the gap. Reinstall the modified footwell trim panel and

check for proper fitment.

INFORMATION

TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NVLD SYSTEM

Evaporative system leakage is found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

[NEW] If a fault is identified when using the NVLD leakage test plan, the following points should be verified.

1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed.

2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected.

3. [NEW] Search for leakage using the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW: always pressurize the system without smoke, and

monitor the flow meter and decay pressure gauge for system leakage. If leakage is present, briefly smoke the system to determine the location

of the leakage. Refer to the attachment when connecting the VACUTEC Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW to the evaporative system.

Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Do not replace any parts unless a leakage is found using the smoke machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS WHEN USING THE VACUTEC SMOKE MACHINE

Testing evaporative systems for leaks is very challenging. We have developed some diagnostic hints and special tools to properly connect a

smoke machine to the NVLD fresh air vent/filter connection.

Attached is a detailed procedure for connecting the smoke machine to a vehicle using Natural Vacuum Leak diagnosis (NVLD).

Recently the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW was added to the BMW Equipment Program. The VACUTEC(R) Smoke

Machine 625-522B-BMW is the only approved testing device for the fuel and evaporative systems. This device automatically converts air to

high purity nitrogen, using Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) nitrogen technology. Orders for the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine,

625-522B-BMW, can be placed by calling the BMW Equipment program at 1-888-222-7997.

Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the vehicle. It is

always suggested not to disturb the system before testing; try to create as little disturbance as possible to the system when connecting the

smoke machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUV(R) smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which

helps pinpoint the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the

included Hi-Density True UV LED light and incandescent white light are used.

When testing the vehicles evaporative system using the flow meter on the VACUTEC smoke machine, the ball indicator should not lift from

the zero measurement on the scale when the system is leak-free. All BMWs are designed to be 100% leak-free. A flow meter indicating zero

flow would be the same as placing your finger over or kinking the application hose of the VACUTEC smoke machine (no flow = 100%

leak-free).
