Fuel Gauge

  1. Unplug wire from fuel tank sending unit. Connect VW tester 1301 between wire and ground. Turn ignition on. With tester set at 60, gauge should show a full tank. With tester at 560 (Vanagon) or 350 (all other models), gauge should show empty.
    NOTE: Tester settings do not indicate resistance in ohms. Resistance values were not available.
  2. If gauge needle does not move at all, check continuity between sender wire and gauge. If needle moves but does not match specifications, replace gauge. If gauge works correctly with tester but not sending unit, replace sending unit.
