hi all,
got a problem with my newly aquired 206. the fuel guage moves and stuff when you switch the ignition on but it's just above a quater of a tank and the fuel light came on so i think the sender is working, just the needle is playing up..?
is there anything that can be done or is it a case of getting new dials?
cheers
twed.

Yes, me.
If it's multiplexed (Oct 2001 >) reset the BSI and if that solves it go to a dealer for an ECU and BSI software update.
