Title: Fuel Gauge Problem????
Post by: Squallai on January 07, 2008, 04:27:36 AM
Does anyone have a fuel gauge mulfunctioned?
I am not sure it is a common problem or not, but my car has got a wrong reading....
No matter how much fuel i put into the tank, the gauge won\'t go more than a quarter. I assumed that would be the fuel sensor problem.
Does someone have the smae problem as me?:confused:

I source that someone selling a fuel sensor in ebay.
He assumed that his FD also has the problem as us. but the problem he found out is about the circuit board faulty...

you could probably fix it with a 2nd hand set of clocks

Rev counters break, and also I know the oil pressure guage breaks on lots of people\'s cars, but is only the guage, change clocks and is fixed.

my opinion is you can fix it with new clocks

Bit off topic but where does the orange low fuel light come on in relation to the needle as i have not seen low fuel in 3 years of ownership and find that hard to believe. I had the needle off the bottom bar below the E yesterday before i parked her up and still no low level light?.

Mine one comes on just below the E, you probably need a light bulb LOL
