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,

  • Amarok Fuel Gauge problem

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems with my fuel gauge.
    I have a 2016 4-cylinder, manual High Line, with about 65,000km on the clock. Mostly bitumen Kms. Used for occasional towing and country travel, it's my 2nd vehicle, so it can sometimes sit about for a few weeks in a garage not being used. I mostly try to keep the fuel tank full, or near full.

    Last week, I drove 6hrs to Dubbo, all OK. Filled up the next day and was driving out of Dubbo for the return trip home, when I noticed the fuel gauge was in the red and the warning light was 'on'. I pulled over, no fuel leak. Over the next 3 hrs it slowly came up to where it should have been and seemed OK for the remainder of the trip home. Next day I filled up and it behaved normally.

    Yesterday, a week later, I jumped in, and the fuel gauge was at bottom of red band with no light 'on'. It stayed dead all day with multiple stop / starts.

    If it just stayed at the bottom with the red light 'on', I'd be thinking the float is knackered or some other problem with the sender. But no red warning light is a twist.

    Any suggestions of what/where to look before I take it to a dealer.

    Thank you.
    Piper
