I've got a 2016 2.0tdi yeti and the fuel gauge has decided not to work is this a common fault luckily I'd filled the tank right up and  logged the mileage and zeroed the trip so although the orange light is on and the range is showing 0 I know I'm OK for another 250 miles is it an easy fix and what causes it to happen 

Thanks in advance

Its easy to remove and either unstick if its stuck, clean up the potentiometer track & tweak some preload on the wiper if its that or simply replace if thats your way.

 

Simply remove the rear seats & lift the trim panel & all will be revealed.
