do you know how much petrol weighs ;)Originally Posted by Lunner
Yes thats why i run just over 1/4 tank while i'm on track
I just got a nice 335miles out of mine :D
I can also verify the petrol light comes on if the dial don't work...
my petrol needle doesn't work on valver dash, but the light started flickering when i put my foot down.. so it works!
However, if you press the dash down the needle will move to correct position on mine!
I can get you a new set of clocks if you like?
Might be a bit less embarrassing than sat on the hard shoulder??
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
right so the light will come on????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats all i need to know!!!
yesterday i filled up again and the gauge went up to 3/4 100 miles driving later its in the same place?????
it seems to go up but wont come down
tried banging the dash but nothing
Mine does this, when it feels like it, more likely fuel sender unit, will replace mine when i can be assed
The only way to reset it it, under back seat the black circle, take that off you will see fuel pump, unplug the connector on it, turn ignition on, fuel gague drops, turn ignition off, plug back in connector, then turn on ignition again this should give you a good reading of whats left in the tank.
^^ this take about 1 min to do piece of piss really
Hi everyone clearly the random fuel gauge is a common fault as I have just been doing some searching on here and there is a lot on it!! I also have the same problem. I have just done this re-set as FlamingMonkey has suggested and it worked - was on full, then after reset just over half, which is where I expected it to be. so it works - good times. But a couple of things
1 - it is now stuck on half and does not move, even when the battery is disconnected!! So does this mean I need a new sender unit?? or is there any other fix??
2 - if it is the sender unit where can I get one and how much are they - aprox??
