🧭 Before you start

Fits: platform codes 1G1, 1G2

• Renewed: if necessary

Don't miss

• Switch ignition on. Specified value: Min. 2 V, must decrease to 0 V after 1...2 seconds
• Briefly touch centre contact of Hall sender G40 contact to earth using auxiliary measuring setV.A.G 1594C. Voltage value must temporarily increase to min. 2 V.

📋 Procedure

1. Pull connector from transistorized ignition system with Hall sender switch unit N41.
2. Connect hand-held multimeterV.A.G 1526C to connector contacts 2 and 4 using auxiliary measuring setV.A.G 1594C.
3. Switch ignition on.
4. Otherwise, locate and rectify open circuit according to .
5. Switch off ignition.

6. Re-connect connector to transistorized ignition system with Hall sender switch unit N41.
7. Pull connector from Hall sender G40, (ignition distributorO).
8. Connect hand-held multimeterV.A.G 1526C to terminals 1 (-) and 15 (+) of ignition coil 1 with output stageN using auxiliary measuring setV.A.G 1594C.
9. Switch ignition on. Specified value: Min. 2 V, must decrease to 0 V after 1...2 seconds
10. Renew transistorized ignition system with Hall sender switch unit N41 and check ignition coil 1 with output stageN to see whether casting compound has escaped; also renew if necessary.
11. Briefly touch centre contact of Hall sender G40 contact to earth using auxiliary measuring setV.A.G 1594C. Voltage value must temporarily increase to min. 2 V.
12. Switch off ignition.
13. Connect hand-held multimeterV.A.G 1526C to outer contacts of connector using auxiliary measuring setV.A.G 1594C.
14. Switch ignition on. [Note: If malfunction is present despite achieving specified values, transistorized ignition system with Hall sender switch unit N41 must be renewed, or open circuit between connector of Hall sender G40 and transistorized ignition system with Hall sender switch unit N41 must be determined and rectified.]
