Vacuum System
The N55 engine is equipped with a vacuum pump for generating the vacuum required by
the brake booster and the auxiliary consumers (exhaust flaps and wastegate). A vacuum
accumulator (built into the cylinder head cover) is used to ensure there is sufficient
vacuum for the wastegate valve at all times.
