GrahamU 5 Posted January 18, 2006 Not sure what the gauge problem would be but £30 will get about 250 miles in my Bora 1.8T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4stud 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Sounds like a dodgy sender in your tank. Not sure about the modern stuff but there is usually a float which operates your gauge. Could just be a simple wiring thing in a modern car though. Bet there is about 20 wires going to it with all kinds of "helpfull" sensors on them.
