t  Hand multimeter -V.A.G 1526 B- or multimeter -V.A.G 1715-
  W00-0573
t  Voltage tester -V.A.G 1527 B-
t  Adapter set -V.A.G 1594 C-
Test prerequisite
l  Fuses must be OK.
l  The battery voltage must be at least 11.5 V.
l  All electrical consumers, e.g. lights and rear window heating, must be switched off.
Checking function and voltage supply
–  Remove rear seat bench → General body repairs, interior; Rep. Gr.72.
–  Remove cover from fuel delivery unit.
–  Switch on ignition. The fuel pump must be heard to run for about 2 seconds.
–  Switch off ignition.
