MUF Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Guys Gone and bought myself a 2007 Puma 90 County Hard Top. In just over a week of ownership I've had to replace OSF sidelight bulb & OSF indicator bulb. On my way to work yesterday, 3 miles into the journey (uphill) the fuel gauge dropped to zero, the light flashed and the alarm sounded, the reading stayed on empty until I started going downhill (quite steep) and then the gauge returned to normal. This happened again today at roughly the same spot on the journey, any ideas what the problem may be guys? Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUF Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Tank is three quarters full. It's impractical to return the 90 to the place where I bought it, 230 miles away hence me askin' the question.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 check the tank unit connections are clean/intact & no damage to wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sensible responses would be appreciated How about returning it to your nearest dealer? Is it not still under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sensible responses would be appreciated If still under warranty and the shop its too far I would wait a bit until other faults arise. Just be sure you have enough fuel.

Puma been back to dealer today (Hillendale). Staff were very helpful, apparently my DEF has a faulty instrument panel and a new instrument "pack" has been ordered. Truck had a vac and wash.. Part has been ordered and DEF will be recalled once part is in. Does this mean my odometer will be reset to zero? PUMA been to Hillendale today - faulty instrument panel - new instrument panel on order. Does this mean my odometer reading will return to zero if the whole job lot is being replaced?

western Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 no reason why the existing speedo cannot be changed over to the new instrument pack, all the gauges are seperate items within the pack as is the gauge wiring loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
