bluehaze Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Mine's the opposite: it reads full most of the time then quickly goes to half full. It's empty at that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 only other thing to recheck is the connections, if it has a low fuel warning connection, swap the wires over & recheck the earth connection. if that doesn't cure the fault, then it could be a duff new tank sender.

Disco-Ron Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Sorry to hijack, but is there a voltage stabilizer somewhere? 95 300tdi, my gauge goes up and down when accelerating or braking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe the gauge showing lots less when I accelerate is a warning to take my foot off the loud pedal . . Lol. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
