Current Draw

- Remove the rear seat bench.

- Remove the cover - arrows - from the fuel delivery unit.





- Connect the (VAG 1715) with current pickup - A - onto the wire - B - to the 5 pin electrical connector terminal 1.





- Start the engine and run at idle speed.

- Measure the current draw of the fuel pump.

• Specified value: Max. 9 amperes.

• If the malfunction in the fuel system is sporadic, the test can also be performed during a road test, but a second person is required.

If the current draw is exceeded:

- Fuel pump is faulty, replace the fuel delivery unit. Refer to => [ Fuel Delivery Unit ] Fuel Delivery Unit.
