Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    The trick is to give it to your mother in law with at least 300km showing to empty. That way she'll be 200km away when it stops lol.

    Just kidding... some mothers in law are great. I hear.

      Haha, she'd find her way back!

      They've had the Superb for a couple of days. Don't believe its the sensor as they believed. I'm told there are two cells in the fuel tank, and they believe the pump that pushes fuel into the one it sucks from has a fault. Which would explain everything.

      We've been given a brand spanking Fabia Monte Carlo to drive around in for the time being, so its not all bad!

        Found this workshop manual that illustrates the problem. Fuel gets pumped from one chamber to the other. Ironically, it describes the exact issue. Given its in the manual, its a shame they didn't pick it up first time. However, I'm in IT, so I don't expect anyone to read documentation ha. RTFM!

        Seems one of these tubes between the pumps become blocked or had an issue. You do wonder about the engineering behind this. Assuming its a packaging, weight distribution issue that leads them to require two pumps. Thems the breaks.
