As I only had a fuel sender from any other VW model - which did not work correct, I had to "fine tune" this one to get it to work properly:
First step: analyze the original (broken) sensor :
upper fuel level of original sender
lower fuel level of original sender
new sender: impossible upper level position -> electrical resistor indicating "full"
new sender -> resistor reading "empty" - but impossible lower level position - much lower then lowest possible position in the tank
direct comparison: upper float level on old vs. new sender
direct comparison: lower level on old vs. new sender
check of floating behavior of old sender
check of floating behavior of new sender
The only solution: modify the lever arm to
-meet the full and empty resistor positions
- meet the full and empty float levers as well!
after some "fine calibration": same lower float level of old and new sender unit
Also: same upper float level of old and new sender unit
strange looks - but works fine throughout the whole range from "full" to "empty"
Du bist ein Fuchs! ;-)
