VW 1301 tester

[Ameer Antar]

This is a pretty important topic, but I think that the values on the 1301 
is the same in ohms b/c I remember using that spec testing my fuel gauge. 
But if there are any VW/Audi service-guys out there, they'd know...unless 
those guys just use their own resistor boxes. Any ideas guys?
