Hi, this is a common problem you need to get the sender unit in the tank replaced as the one you have got now is not working, the problem is to do this you need to make sure the tank is low on fuel or empty as you need to lower the tank because you need to get to the top of the tank to get the sender unit out as it comes out from the top of the tank.
have a look to see if you have an inspection panel in the boot/trunk under the carpet about the size of a saucer from cup and saucer, if you find this panel you dont need to make sure the fuel is low as the tank can stay in place but if you have no panel you need to undo all the pipes and electrics to the tank and then lower the tank to get access to the sender unit.
if you doing this yourself then the best thing to do would be to buy the new sender unit so you know exactly what your looking for when getting the old one off.
before you think about changing the sender unit check your fuse box and check every fuse and if one is blown replace it for one of the same type then check the fuel gauge as it could be a blown fuse but most of the time its the sender unit in the tank
let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok
please rate this solution, thanks
