The variable resistor is located in the same area as the pressure sensor. It needs to be adjusted if a new motor is installed, or major maintenance is performed. You cant find the screw part, because its probably covered in anti-tamper materiel.

What "OTHER" sensor and special tool are you referring too?

There is no variable resistor on S5's, so you can stop looking.

Well, if you have an S4 car. It helps you set your idle by adding or subtracting fuel.

Your mean that you don't have to spend 300 bucks for a SAFC to get your idle to smooth out on a series four....unlike a series five??????
