gas light
what can cause my gas empty light to not work? i usually drive it until the light comes on and i would fill up. now it wont even turn on and im to scared to drive it until it dies becasue i hear that can mess up the gas pump. is there a fuse for it or a way i can check if it still works? thanks
another question, what color is the clutch fluid suppose to be in the reviosor? i bought prestone dot 3 brake fluid and its clear. the fluid thats already in the car is really dark, like black.

Low Fuel sending unit are notorious
for going bad, especially in S5's. It's a little bullet like thing mounted on the end of a wire arm located next to your fuel pump. Only thing to do is buy a new one, and they aren't cheap.

Ok I had my car worked on many many years ago (87 t2) and they pulled the intercooler and did some other work as well. ANYWAY when i went to leave my low gas light came on (half a tank) and stayed on for like an hour. Then it went out and has never worked since. It is not the bulb as it work when i turn the igg switch to on.
Sorry to thread jack.

1 fuel pump
Under a panel held with 4 screws. Remove the panel and you'll see the fuel pump assembly, two hoses running to it and, as I recall, 8 small screws mounting the assembly top to the fuel tank. Pull off the hoses, remove the screws, and it just lifts up. Then you'll see the bullet sending unit I'm talking about. All you can do is replace it with a new one.

You just need to fold back the rear carpet. Sender for the gauge is on the main sender unit in the tank. The only disadvantage is that the light does not illuminate when you are low on fuel.
