Before undertaking adjustment, fault tracing should be carried out on fuel gauge and fuel level sensor.
To carry out adjustment, use service kit P/N 1 398 171-7, which contains a potentiometer with necessary leads and sockets together with a connector
with an in-circuit resistor.
1. Connect resistor:
-
Remove battery negative lead.
-
Unplug the 3-pole connector between gauge and sensor in trunk.
-
Connect the connector with resistor to the gauge leads, as shown in illustration.
2. Connect potentiometer:
-
Cut off the gray-white lead with the 7-pole connector on the instrument panel.
-
Strip and twist the ends of the leads.
-
Connect potentiometer by means of the sockets. See illustration.
3. Check reading:
-
Reconnect battery negative lead and turn on ignition without starting engine.
-
Take reading. Pointer should be just touching the red area.
-
If reading is correct, proceed to step 5.
