i have same problem

already chafed sense in tank only cost a £10

I'm sure it is clocks

when i put fuel in it thinks there is a full tank when it had half a tank and i put £10 of diesel in
 
when car is off clocks reset back to 0 as they should though

it does read half tank  but when i have had a full tank in and brimmed it it reads full but takes forever to show half it does not know when it is 3/4 full its either full or half

I'm waiting for it to run out of fuel one day lol

going to take a look over weekend probably tomorrow afternoon

I'm going to get in the tank and move the float up and down and watch the gauge on the clocks for movement  but I'm tempted to get a new set of clocks as I'm sure that is the problem

i'm looking to get a set of clocks but been told it easy putting them in but hard to programmer the clocks also you need to find the part number as well so they match.... let us know how you get on man be for  i take it to a vw specialist

VW won't touch it unless you fit brand new clocks.

Even if you find clocks with the same part number it's not just a case of fitting them in and driving away unfortunately. The clocks will need to be coded to your keys as the immobiliser is part of them. If you a have post 2001 car the ECU will also need coding to clocks and keys.

You need to find someone with VAG COM and also VAG TACHO to do all this for you
