SEAT Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Checking fuel gauge sender -G- Consult the equivalence table for tools and equipment according to applicability among Seat / VW / Audi / Skoda → Chapter. Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  Manual multimeter -VAG 1526C-, see equivalent → Anchor

t  Auxiliary cable kit -VAG 1594C-, see equivalent → Anchor Checking sequence –  Remove rear seat → bodywork - interior fitting work; Rep. gr.72.

–  Release retainers -arrows- at cover for sealing flange.

–  Release carefully electrical connection -arrow- on sealing flange and take off.

–  Connect the multimeter for the measurement of the resistance between contacts -2- and -3-.

Sender fitted	Sender on the lower limit	Sender on the upper limit
Fuel gauge senders -G-	Approx. 270 Ω	Approx. 70 Ω

–  The measurement value 0 Ω indicates a short circuit; the value ∞ Ω indicates an open circuit is at hand.   Note To check the resistance values of a „full tank“ or those of an „empty tank“ the fuel supply unit must be removed and the sender floater moved to the upper or lower limit. When the fuel level indicator is removed and due to the large floater range of movement, the following values are obtained:

Sender removed	Sender on the lower limit	Sender on the upper limit
Fuel level gauge sender -G	Approx. 290 Ω	Approx. 54 Ω

–  Connect the multimeter and measure the resistance between contacts -3- and -4-.

Sender fitted or removed	Sender in any position
Fuel gauge senders -G-	Approx. 340 Ω
