I have fixed Gas gauge problems before, by removing the dash cluster, and cleaning all the electrical contacts. Fixed my fuel gauge!

so your saying it might just be a dirty contact. I thought of that also but when i went to take the cluster out it did not want to come out. any advise did you have that problem?

razorback

that cluster should be EASY to remove. Just remember to put your hand behind and unhook the speedo cable. Like I said, that cleared up ALOT of problems for me.

IT very well could be in the gas tank. But like I said, I solved mine by cleaning the contacts.

What did you do?

rx78788

ya what did you do and also what was wrong

razorback

well i guess the way the pump was set up was very rigged..so when i was putting some stuff in the side i hit it and the wires came out (problem with the starting) and i guess my fuel gauge was right. i opened the tank because i thought there was no way in hell it could be that full. but it was. i dont know how. it seems like a ran alot more gas out of it than that. oh well it works im not complaining.

My friend's S5 TII will go down to about the middle and stay there. He ran out of gas as he pulled into a station when he first bought the car. ANy ideas on that?

razorback

check the bobber in the tank
