td4 fuel gauge????

caravan doctor · Nov 10, 2010

hi to all!, I was just wondering whether anyone else experiences this???, the fuel gauge on my '02 td4, seems pretty accurate up untill it gets to about a quarter of a tank, then if i turn it off(usually after coming back up the motorway), and come back to it either after a few hours or next morning, the needle drops to just above the red line, but after a few months of this happening and gauging what fuels left etc., im starting to think either this is a common fault,the gauge is inaccurate calibration wise, or the sender in the tank is faulty etc.

but does anyone else experience this before i start investigating

cheers lads

never let mine go below 1/4 tank, but it doesn't seem to be particularly linear in its operation.

Mines the same. Ran mine till the fuel warning light came on the other day, and literally straight away the engine just died with the Engine management light illuminated. Filled from a fuel can, and it was right as rain. Not good.
