The point is, the most common fault is the broken/abraded wire identified in the tech writeup

"This is the sending unit. The wire marked is known to fray and break, and thus needing replacement. You can unsolder it at both ends and replace it with a 26-30 gauge teflon insulated wire. However, as you can see, mine is just fine. Also, there is no need to run it under the bail as shown above. I have no idea what possessed some engineer at Audi to do that."
I used some very fine braided wire for microphone appliations to repair mine. The braided wire allows for the flexibility this component needs.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec77.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec77.shtml</a</li></ul>
