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,

    So it needs 2 fuel senders to accurately measure how much is both halves of the tank.
    It's likely to just be one of them. Replace one and if that doesn't fix it put the one you pulled out in the other side.
    Does replacing the sensor involve replacing the whole big white plastic fuel pump assembly as well?

      I don't believe so.
      Workshop guide shows separate instructions for renewing the fuel sender only (which is done once the fuel delivery unit (pump) assembly has been pulled out).

          Fuel sender itself shouldn't be too much from your local VW spares department.
          Have them check from your VIN, but it might be part number 3C0919673A:

            Theres 2 parts, i had mine done recently too.

            Fuel pump/sender (R.H R32/6) 1K0 919 051 AR 1.0000 370.48 EA 370.48
            Passat tank sender (L.H R32/6) 3C0 919 673 B 1.0000 295.06 EA 295.06

            Mine was playing up, so I'd be driving and then all of a sudden the gauge was at empty. But when I restarted the car it would reset and go back to normal. Would happen maybe twice a week.
