000 540 27 81 4700  III selected, the jerking gets worse. After the change,
test-drive vehicle.
Note
In order to change the individual adjustment
plug it is necessary to switch off the "ignition"
as the new adjustment will otherwise not be
identified by the control unit.
In order to establish the amount of the
resistance it is possible to simulate the
adjustment plugs in the above table with the
ohm decade.
