Fuel Tank sender July 14, 2022, 11:20:18 PM Hi all, wondering if someone can help. Got a problem with my fuel tank sender in a 16v. On occasions the fuel guage is reading quarter but then I run out of fuel. It's happened to me a couple of times now so am now in routine of fueling up at the halfway mark. Anyone got any ideas. I've spoken to my local Mk2 guru and he explained senders are no longer available new. Will I be looking for a replacement or is it repairable?Thanks
Re: Fuel Tank sender Reply #1 – July 14, 2022, 11:52:30 PM These things were NLA many years ago. After my 8v stopped without fuel despite showing 1/4 tank I realised I was driving an obsolete car. I couldn’t source a new sender. I cleaned up the original and it is still working to this day. Perhaps you may be able to achive the same. It is just a variable resistor. Connect a multimeter to it and clean until it responds correctly. Last Edit: July 15, 2022, 12:01:43 AM by PWardy 1 Likes
