Fuel Gauge Sender, Checking

Fuel Gauge Sender, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required







- Multimeter V.A.G 1526B







- Adapter set V.A.G 1594C

Work sequence
- Remove cover from fuel delivery unit.
- Disconnect 4-pin connector from flange on fuel delivery unit.







- Measure resistance at both contacts - 2 - and - 3 - on sealing flange:


Sender Fuel tank full Fuel tank empty
Fuel gauge sender 295 Ohms 52 Ohms

With a fuel gauge between "full" and "empty" a resistance value between both specifications must be indicated.

If 0 Ohm or Infinite Ohms is measured, there is a wiring open or short circuit.

NOTE: To check the resistance values "full" or "empty" the fuel gauge sender must be removed.
