Checking fuel gauge sender -G-
Special tools and workshop equipment required
   
t  Hand-held multimeter -V.A.G 1526C-
  W00-10311
t  Auxiliary measuring set -V.A.G 1594C-
  W00-10008
Procedure
–  Remove rear seat bench → Rep. gr.72.
–  Unclip the retaining tabs -arrows- for the flange cover (right-side).
  A20-1206
–  Unplug electrical connector -arrow- at flange.
  Note
  A20-10130
In vehicles with three-wire sender, 5 contacts are connected in the electrical connector for fuel gauge sender -G-.
–  Connect multimeter (resistance test) between contacts -2- and -3-.
Fuel gauge sender -G- installed:
l  Sender at lower stop: approx. 270 Ω.
l  Sender at upper stop: approx. 70 Ω.
  Note
t  To test the maximum and minimum resistance values for „tank full“ and „tank empty“, remove the fuel delivery unit → Chapter and move the sender float all the way to its top or bottom position.
t  If the resistance is 0 Ω, there is a short circuit. If the resistance is ∞ Ω, there is an open circuit in the wiring.
t  The following values are obtained with the fuel gauge sender -G- removed, due to the greater travel of the float arm:
Fuel gauge sender -G- removed:
l  Sender at lower stop: approx. 290 Ω.
l  Sender at upper stop: approx. 60 Ω.
–  Connect multimeter (resistance test) between contacts -3- and -4-.
Fuel gauge sender -G- installed or removed:
l  Sender in any position: approx. 340 Ω.
Assembly is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
–  Install rear seat bench → Rep. gr.72.
