Fabia 1.4tdi level 3 Intermitant fuel gauge reading empty, fuel refill light on

Featured Replies

Hello All

had a bit of a shock on Saturday night car was showing just under quarter of a tank of fuel. Parked up for a couple of hours and came back, started up the fuel refill light came on and the fuel gauge was on empty. thought that the fuel line had been cut (it wasnt) put in £25 quid and its done it again?

any ideas as there are no leaks. I dont work in the garage anymore.

its a 57 plate with 28K on the clock. going to do 3000 mile oil change intervals with a filter every 3rd change. Cambelt is due in January having never done one on a PD 3 cylinder any one with any advice as I have heard that you also have to do the water pump

cheers Mag

Hi Ex, yep...do the water pump and belt tensioner as usual. Cam belt is a synch but take care and use a genuine belt is may advice although you prolly know that. If no leak then the sender or gauge must be faulty. Can't say more than that, just do the usual stuff but start with the sender if I were you as I reckon it's that and not the gauge. Some instances of sender going faulty have been reported.

Oh...and welcome to the site, it's good on ere!
