Abstract: A method for detecting valve leakage of a least one valve at a cylinder intake manifold or exhaust manifold of a vehicle engine, the method comprising: acquiring a set of pressure data points indicative of the pressure in the cylinder intake manifold or exhaust manifold for crankshaft angular positions covering crankshaft angular rotation degrees such that each of the at least one valve has opened at least one time; and determining at least one test value based on the set of pressure data points, wherein a valve leakage is detected based on a comparison of the at least one test value to a threshold value.
