    Again. Speedo works but fuel computer not. Also, distance till the fuel runs out shows 2000 miles permanently...

    Edit: forgot to add, it is the same with 2 sets of instruments so the fault is really unlikely to be in the instrument cluster...
    If you ever manage to solve this weird range issue, PLEASE let me know.
    Been fighting this for like.. forever.

    Other functions are spot on. The only one "distance till the fuel runs out " is way off.

    We use kilometers here and on 80l tank it should be MAX 800km's. It shows a random value between 1000 to 2000 km's. It does somewhat/sometimes react to the amount of fuel left. From what I know, this does not look into fuel consumption. It should show a static value (liters in tank x 10)

    Other functions are spot on. I think it is getting a wrong fuel gauge value. Whole cluster was resoldered, and board computer swapped. Nothing helped

    So my BC is getting correct speed and fuel consumption but it does not get correct fuel in tank amount. this results in the fact that range is a separate value and using only amount of fuel in the tank. But as you state now, it seems that consumption (You do clearly have issues with this signal) is also taken into account. I am lost.
