I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I might have been worrying too much about the fuel gauge reading! Just filled up today and it only took 10 litres of diesel. I thought it might have taken more. Thanks for all your input on the matter.

I did over 50 miles last week with the gauge not dropping at all. I know it would have shown some movement by now. Are we saying the fuel tank is positioned under the back seats? I had a look this morning and couldn't see any obvious signs. Maybe the carpet would need lifting to get to the tank sender.

Yes it's definitely a Yeti TDI 150. I haven't had a scan done. One of the gremlins (if you can call it that) Is the fuel gauge reading max when the ignition is turned on. It reads zero when the ignition is off. The range shown on the MFD shows about 570 miles even though I have driven quite a few miles since last filling up. I assume the range gets its signal from the fuel gauge? The float is possibly stuck so when the rain stops I'll see if a light tap might free it if that's the problem. The radio/sat nav has not been working as it should. You can't change radio stations and the sat nav is stuck on one map area. I'm not sure whether this is the common touch screen problem I've read about or not. The car is a little slow at starting from cold so maybe it does need to go on a charger.

Thanks for the info. I'm getting some odd electrical gremlins and my son suggested disconnecting the battery as it sorted some problems out on his car (not a Yeti). It's worth a try.

Hi Guys If you disconnect the vehicles 12v battery for period (up to a day) is there any thing that will need resetting? I'm assuming there is no radio code to worry about these days! 17 plate car.
