G1 Fuel Sender - 1976-83 - GTI + Diesel (K-Jetronic)
Part Number: 171919051L
This fuel gauge sender unit is specifically designed for GTI and diesel models equipped with K-Jetronic fuel systems, ensuring accurate and reliable fuel level readings. Built as a precision replacement part, it restores correct gauge operation and eliminates common issues such as fluctuating readings, false empty tanks, or non-functioning gauges.
The sender unit sits inside the fuel tank and uses a float mechanism connected to a variable resistor. As the fuel level changes, the float moves up and down, altering the resistance signal sent to the dashboard gauge. This provides a real-time fuel level reading, allowing you to monitor fuel accurately. A worn or faulty sender can cause incorrect readings, leaving you guessing your fuel level—this replacement restores confidence and reliability.
Designed to match original specifications, this unit ensures proper compatibility with K-Jetronic systems found on early GTI and certain diesel models. Manufactured from high-quality materials, it is resistant to fuel exposure and designed for long service life.
Installation is straightforward during tank access or restoration work. For best results, it is recommended to inspect or replace the sender seal and electrical connections at the same time to ensure a leak-free and consistent signal.
