- Vacuum pump
The N62 engine's Valvetronic system means that it needs a
vacuum pump for brake servo. The throttle valve is open while
the car is being driven, which means that insufficient intake pipe
vacuum pressure is created.
The N62 vacuum pump has a larger internal volume than the
N42 vacuum pump, for greater evacuation capacity. A second
vacuum connection has been fitted for exhaust gas flap
adjustment.
The vacuum pump is driven by the cylinders 1-4 outlet shaft. The
power comes from the VANOS unit.
The design of the vacuum pump is described in the documen-
tation for the N42 engine.
