anyone know how to repair a fuel guage within a 1972 super beetle.
it is not interchangeagle like most as it is hard to get at.
tried electrix and does not work so have to change.
might have to change the whole speedo fuel guage unit as a last resort.
can anyone help. and or whats a new one worth. ( the lot ) that is.
Cheers Paul.
change the whole speedo. cheap as. or get a Dehne😎
Customer service is not dead in Australia.
Always after HAZET & MATRA & VW factory tools
Fuel gauge should be able to be unscrewed off the back of the speedo. Not sure if there is anything you can do to repair them & I am unsure if they are available new. Someone else will have to chime in here.

theres 2 screws holding the fuel gauge in
piece of piss to remove
ur a few days late there was a NOS one on ebay that sold for $30 a few days ago
but they are interchangeable thos if ur not worried about being authentic
only real diff is 73 on have red reserve but aside from that theres not reeal diff
i had one from a 75Lbug in my 70 1500s speedo till i found the correct one for it
Whereabouts are you Rufbug as I have a brand new one still in the box that was sent to me years ago that I never used.
Often it's the voltage stabilizer, so check that too.

i am in nowra n.s.w acient bugger (good name).
what $ are you looking at, speedo 100mph one.?
btw to those that might not know i do have the fuel guages
that are held in by 2 screws but on the super they are internal,
and they are not what i want. cheers by the way.

Still fairly sure they can be unscrewed off the back of the speedo. Broken fuel gauge does not mean replacing the complete speedo. Fuel gauge is only pretty small located on the upper rear of the speedo with 2 small screws.

have u got one of those 72 only freak speedos with the numbers printed on the glass and separate left and right blinker lights like this??
ive never pulled one of them apart i dunno how much different they are
Hi
That 100 MPH 72 model speedo was Australian made, the fuel gauges are different. Any good instrument guy should be able to fix it. You might be better off getting a 160 KPH one of eBay.

that explains why everyone overseas looks at me crosseyed when i talk about this freak speedo
that was in freinds 72 1300 bug
but ive seen them in supers too
u can see the fuel gauge face plate is just a tiny bit different
any idea steve why they did this for a few months only in 72?
Sorry, the one I have is from a curved windscreen bug and does screw to the back of the speedo with two screws.
the pics are of the one that i have, what a damn nuisance.
actually i will see if our avionics guys can cast some magic.
thanks for your help. if it does not work i will have to get a
new one.
cheers
