is everybodies mk1 clio furl gauge shit??

each mk1 i have driven or owned hs the same problem.... the furl gauge drops and goes up as it pleases... its so inaccurate, is it a common problem??

it does my head in, one minute i have half a tank, next it drop to a quarter!!!

its like a mpg meter in beamers, you boot it and the gauge drops down, ease of and drive in 5th at 30 and its back up to half again!!!

argh

My new valver does. The old one (apart from dropping faster between 1/4-3/4 tank) was fine.

Mine will drop if i absolutely boot it, and gradually raise back up once i calm down, but in everyday driving it's fine, nice and solid.

Mine can do like hundreds of miles on the motorway and bearly move, you come of the motorway an onto the slip road, bam its dropped quarter of a tank!

Done this on both my valvers.

The last quarter tank of the fuel gauge goes really fast, so I simply fill-up when it hits quarter tank. Other than that, mine behave perfectly.
