Two will be for the low fuel warning light.

There isn't one.
So thats why my low fuel warning light has never come on  :laugh: what are the other two wires for? Sendor unit only needs one sometimes a second one to insure an earth, cant think what the other two are for.

As I said I don't know having never owned or done a tank unit on a Vento but surely the German designers wouldn't be that inept.  :laugh:
