From Audi 100 to urS4 in a week

200 miles on half a tank is optimistic - I wouldn't trust your trip computer for a moment. Fill the tank again and see how much fuel actually used and see how that aligns to your fuel gauge reading.

Is S4 really that bad on fuel on motorway run? It is 6 speed too. I remember doing 35/38 mpg on my V6.

I didn't notice needle moving in my A100, on theory it shouldn't move as it works on resistance.

The way i was driving, i am surprised i got 28, and my car is properly loaded, rear of the car is as low as it can go really.

My gauge goes up when I stick my foot down, and down when I brake for extended periods... quite annoying cos it makes you think driving fast is good for your fuel consumption

28MPG -you must be quite pleased with that in all honesty?

Got to Barnsley without mechanical mishaps, did get a puncture though on 200 mile drive avarged 27.7mpg on the dash (wasn't driving like a granny).

My fuel gauge alters from right hand bends to left hand bends, not aggressively but it takes a little while to get back to normal once on the flat.

I did 200 miles and it shows less than half a tank, i will swap A100 gauge and hope it fixes it

Is this the info you had seen?

Hi AndyD, I'm not sure, it could of been but I seem to remember it was more to do with the gauge rater than auto check. Something about lining the needle up with the 2 dots just above the empty mark.

Pumps are exactly the same and the fixing are too. What it was when the timing sprocket went my dad took out the pump. And when putting it back in the floaty thing got stuck. Because when i took it out and put back together it immediately showed empty tank.

Also my bet is on faulty gauge because i was going through long right hand corner and the needle moved to almost half a tank.

Just wondering if something got snagged in the tank when you changed the fuel pump, Was the fuel gauge always wrong? Or did you never fill it up before? (not that I'd blame you it must be getting on for 100 quid's worth of juice.)

Also are you sure the pump is the same depth as the one you took out and is it fully seated in the basket?

?

That's great!! Good luck with Uni and see you down at ADI.

Thanks buddy See you then.

Good news Janis, glad it worked out in the end.

I am glad too that it all worked out finally, otherwise I thought it will never end.

I'm sure I have seen some info on calibrating the fuel gauge. Think you need a resistor of a certain value to put across 2pins of the sender loom connection, you then turn something on the instrument cluster to set it to a certain position.

Is this the info you had seen?
