My senders are good but the guage jumps around alot. It has been taken apart and looks realy beat up inside. Can I buy a fuel guage for something else and mount it in the dash? what are the correct ohms reading for full / empty? It is from a 75 bus. Thanks

a gauge is probably easy to find, go to a wrecker and see if they got one. Im sure some1 here has a spare. Tracking down a new1 would be easier than fitting new sender and gauge.

Send a message to Karmann Cruiser on this forum, he deals in second hand good-quality gauges for VWs. I bought 2 bug ones from him and they are great (only fitted one so far). Great service too.
