S2 Avant Fuel Gauge fixed!!!

[Razzo4112]

I happen to have a similer problem.....
My gauge indicates 1/2 then when i accelerate hard the fuel light comes on then after a couple of minets raises again......could this be a fix??

Will this fix my fuel gauge problem too?
My gauge is accurate from 35-70ltrs, but at once it is below 1/2, it starts joking with me, and every time i get the "low fuel warning" I can only refuel by 42-45 liters of gasoline.

EXATLY the same problem mine has
Am gonna try to change mine tho

Finally got around to doing this today, so thanks Steve, made the job a lot quicker and easier.

Only thing I have to add for others is the tab (arrowed in black) (on offside of sender as it sits in the tank) needs to be pushed in before the sender can be pulled out.



Cheers for the guide

I just love this forum already!

Threads like these just makes my day! Just fixed my fuel gauge thanks to Knight Rider S4 !

Hopefully, going to give it a go

Car is fine when its sitting there but when it moves the needle goes back to empty so wondering if its been put in at the wrong angle or something, want to sort it out before we purchase the car as apart from that its not a bad car.

The boot floor looks the same so I reckon it could well be mate.

[Acidburn]

Steve - do you know if this would be much different to the one in a tdi avant?

looking at buying a tdi avant but the only time the gauge works is when the car is stationary

wondered if its been put in wrong or is too weak.

Just a wee note to add on to this ..The coupes are totally different sender units
