- Remove left side luggage compartment trim and dirt tray --> «70 - INTERIOR TRIM»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#body-interior) «70 - INTERIOR TRIM»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#body-interior-cabriolet) for BODY INTERIOR - CABRIOLET .
All models
- Unbolt locking flange cover in luggage compartment - arrows -.
- Disconnect electrical harness connector - 1 - at locking flange.
Note. Ignore - 2 -.
Scheme 210
- Connect hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 B between terminal - 2 - and - 3 - for resistance measurement.
| Sensor installed | Sensor at lower stop | Sensor at upper stop |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel Level Sensor G | 300 to 310 ohms | 53.5 to 59 ohms |
Note. If measured value is 0 ohms there is a short circuit. If measured value is infinity ohms there is and open circuit in the wiring. To check resistance values for "tank full" or "tank empty" , the fuel delivery unit must be removed --> Fuel delivery unit, removing and installing and the sensor float must be placed in upper or lower end position. With fuel level sensor G removed, the following values are obtained because of the greater deflection of the floater arm
| Sensor removed | Sensor at lower stop | Sensor at upper stop |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel Level Sensor G | 271 to 296 ohms | 55 to 69 ohms |
