#1: fuel gauge at 1/4 & tank empty Author: boombastik, Location: United KingdomPosted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 12:48 pm ---- Hi folks
My sons 206 broke down the other night after a bit of trouble shooting today i found the tank to be empty but the gauge reading 1/4
had the sender out and moved the float but it made no difference, even with the sender unit disconnected it still reads a 1/4 tank
any one got any ideas? is it the gauge ?

is it a task getting the instrument cluster out then ?

I would fill the tank up to the max then put the needle in at the max line. Its the easiest way for a fix and is pretty acurate

just tried a BSI reset and thats made no difference either

#8: Re: fuel gauge at 1/4 & tank empty Author: boombastik, Location: United KingdomPosted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 1:24 pm ---- good point, no we havent however as mentioned earlier the gauge would read 1/4 tank with the sender unit out and un plugged
