Hello Guest,

Normal use of pressure and temperature sensor probes located in the intake, different stages, and exhaust outlet should locate a vacuum problem quite quickly.

Once the area of the vacuum problem has been established, a visual inspection may be carried out, using a small coloured-smoke generator, which coloured smoke will be sucked into the place where the air is rushing in.

Then cometh the repair engineers, to remedy the problem.

Kind Regards....
