Cliveski Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 That happened on my first Lupo . . . . it cured itself after a day or two so I suspect yours will do the same . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Fuel level sender has gone - I had issues with mine, left me stranded at the side of the road while reading just under 1/4 full.Worth getting it fixed if it's under warranty, as even if it starts working again, it probably won't be reliable.

twisty b-road Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 How low did you run it?I ran mine to fumes a while ago to have a TT petrol cap fittedAfterwards the gauge was acting funny. Considering there can't have been more than a couple of litres of fuel in there the guage showed a quarter of a tank and the light was coming on at about 1/3 of a tankPut a tenner in to get me home, then another tenner in a few days later to pick Tigz up to get the Golf and this continuedThe next time I needed petrol I brimmed the tank and then the guage seemed to "reset" itselfThe light now comes on at the proper time and the guage acts as it did beforeEdit: Thinking about it: the fuel tank was removed to do the job so maybe that contributed?
