Goes up and down giving out false readings on how much is left in the tank

Huh?

 

Im a bit confused, the fuel gauge will go up and down as you use it and fill it up?

what do you mean false readings?

what is it you want from this? Help fixing something? Let people know?

 

People come to the forum to discuss and also get help, to do either of these things you’ll need to give us more than 1 sentence please.

Its becoming more and more a frequent occurrence, perhaps that is how how people communicate on Fessbook groups.

I'm going to guess they mean the estimated range on the infotainment or multi-function display?

If the problem is estimated range then that's normal - the estimated range is based on about the last 20 miles of driving so if you mostly drive i towne then go on an open road the range will go up and vice versa.

 

Most extreme example I've seen is driving 100 motorway miles on the weekend after a week urban commuting and seeing the estimated range larger after doing 100 miles than it was!

I have just seen another one posted today, once again a new contributor and their posting was but two words in bold type - component protection

 

Could it be some kind of a bet/joke?

Is the fuel guage fluctuating as well?
