Hi Fetzi,
A 1K pot will be fine but are you talking about a proper potentiometer like a Throttle Position sensor or just a variable resistor? The Pot would have three wires and you could wire it to an AV, a variable resistor will have two wires and will need to be wired to an AT.
Be careful, some of these devices may go to 0ohms at their lowest setting which will probably cause the input to go into error so you may need a resistor in line with it as well to give it some small voltage even at its lowest setting.
