DareVRS

So bit of a peculiar one… I checked the resistance of the fuel sender which was fine. Next I removed the sill covers and checked for visual damage to the wiring - all fine. I took out the instrument cluster to check continuity on the wires from the sender to the cluster - which was all good. After admitting defeat and putting everything back together, I turned on the ignition and the fuel gauge decided to work! I must have disrupted something somewhere which has kicked it back into life - fingers crossed it stays that way.

Display in the centre of the instrument cluster is working fine

Hi all, 2019 Octavia vRS TDI… Has anyone had an issue with the fuel gauge not working on their Mk3 Octavia? I filled up with to the brim with fuel the other day and the gauge didn’t move, since then it gradually went down to 0 miles of range and totally empty on the gauge. I’ve plugged in my OBDEleven which brings up code B103E1B - fuel gauge sensor 1 - resistance too high. I’ve taken the sender out of the tank to check that the float was fine and all parts were freely moving, which they were. I’ve also run a test on the instrument cluster to check that the fuel gauge was working - it moves fine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Spare wheel well is dry Windscreen washer level hasn’t changed & the rear is working as expected so no sign of a leak from there

The pollen filter is all clean and smell free. I just lifted up the carpet in the rear and had a whiff of the underlay and although it was bone dry it stunk of damp

Haven’t had the aircon on for a little while so doubt it’ll be related to that - the smell appeared literally overnight, the day after a storm

Hi all, I’ve got a 2019 vRS estate that has developed a horrendous damp smell inside the car. There’s definitely water getting in somewhere, but strangely I haven’t been able to find anywhere in the car that’s actually wet. I’ve checked the carpets, seats, headlining, boot & spare wheel well and they all feel dry. Has anyone had anything similar & could point me in the direction of where to check? It doesn’t have the pan roof option. Many thanks!
