DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING AN INTAKE SYSTEM OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
First Claim
1. A diagnostic method for performing diagnostics on the intake tract of an internal combustion engine with exhaust gas turbocharger comprising a compressor disposed in the intake tract and a turbine disposed in an exhaust tract of the internal combustion engine for the purpose of driving said compressor, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a boost pressure of the compressor in a predefined operating state of the internal combustion engine anddetecting a leak in the intake tract downstream of the compressor if the boost pressure determined is less than a predefined base boost pressure in the predefined operating state.

Abstract
An internal combustion engine has an intake system (1) and an exhaust gas system (4). An exhaust turbocharger of the internal combustion engine has a compressor (42) arranged in the intake system (1) and a turbine (48) arranged in the exhaust gas system (4) of the internal combustion engine for driving the compressor (42). In order to diagnose the intake system (1), a charge pressure (PHS_AIC_DOWN) of the compressor (42) is determined in a predetermined operating state of the internal combustion engine. A leakage of the intake system (1) downstream of the compressor (42) is recognized if the determined charge pressure (PHS_AIC_DOWN) is lower than the predetermined base charge pressure (PUT_BAS) in the predetermined operating state.
