If you dont mind i'd like to watch this too as Millie's fuel guage is the same and I think her speedo is out but not sure by how much...
Is the fuel guage a voltage problem???
Ciao

personally if teh speedo is playing up, try a new cable, if its still out take it to a Gauge repair shop. Otto Instruments in brissy is good.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

I was having problems with my guage in 74 beetle.would read what I thought was about right for about 15 minutes per tank. Got a new sender unit from
Mick Motors, that didn't fix it so the local VW man replaced the guage ....now its just about good as new. All up probably 120 bux |

jumping around usually indicates poor contacts... just check all the wiring to make sure the connections are good. inaccurate gauges will need
further checking to see if it is the sender or the speedo itself... would suggest taking it to a speedo place to be checked out.

Thank you. I will look for back wiring as the guage is fine while the engine is not running but as soon as I start the guage jumps around. Ta
Philip.

My guage always reads empty when switched off. About the only time I trust it...
