Special tools and workshop equipment required

t	Hand multimeter -V.A.G 1526C-

t	Auxiliary measuring set -V.A.G 1594C-

Procedure

–	Adjust accelerator cable by moving the retainer at the support bracket, so that the full throttle position is attained at the throttle valve control module.

–	Release accelerator pedal

–	Pull 2-pin connector off kick-down switch -F8- in front of engine compartment (on the bulkhead).

–	Connect hand multimeter -V.A.G 1526C- to kick-down switch -F8- using auxiliary cables from adapter set -V.A.G 1594C-.

–	Check resistance at switch. Specification: ∞∼Ω

–	Slowly move accelerator pedal in direction of full throttle.

Shortly after the kick-down pressure point the resistance must drop to 0 Ω. At this point the accelerator pedal must be just off the stop.
