haunted fuel gauge:!:

Post by luke »

My fuel guage is a little confused, going down hill it goes up! going up hill it goes down. i thought i was just hitting the red from when i started out done about 6 miles total i guess and on my way home it started going all over the place. my temp sensor is also non functional. only thing thats changed is ive been using the car way less due to job and train'ing it to work. I used to drive her everyday now its like once a week if im lucky. Anyways any suggestions? on what it is because now i havent a clue what i got left in the tank as it dropped considerably last night and now its all over the shop. may pop up scrappy and try another set of clocks but is it likely to be a sensor? or the clocks as the temp gauge isnt budging?? thanks in advance

It could be a bad electrical connection on the clocks, or it could be that your temp sender and fuel sensor have both died together, the fuel guage on my MK4 often said i had less in than it did, just took it that the car was pessamistic.
