The fuel gauge is playing up on my 93 s2 avant, below half full it drops straight to empty and the little fuel pump appears on the dash, above half way and it works fine. Any ideas? thought it might be the sender in the tank not making contact as it moves up and down the metal strip.
Cheers

Hi Matey, You'll find that if you remove the instrument cluster, on the back of the fuel gauge you will find a wire broken. Solder the wire, and it will be back to normal.
Its not the gauge thats faulty, but the sender. The photos in post 12 are of the sender unit.
The wire breaks and when the tank is full it still makes contact, but once it hits a certain level, it loses contact and the sender reports zero reading - or empty.
Either solder in a new wire or buy a new sender for under £30. The whole job should take under an hour. Try and do it with low fuel level though as it gets a bit whiffy. Easier said than done when you don't know how much is in the tank!
