Fuel gauge not working
Fuel gauge not working
Guys the other day the fuel gauge started playing up
And then yesterday put £40 in and needle only moved about 1mm
On miles showing up 5-10miles
Any idea what I need to do to fix this please?

Re: Fuel gauge not working
Mine does this too - it's fine from full tank to about 1/3 then goes pie shaped from there. My theory is that it's so expensive to run, people just top it up with 30 quids worth and its worn out the sender on that last bit of the range.
Do we have multiple senders in the c5?

If it's like the C6 A6 it may be worth watching below video for ideas on why it's not working properly.
