Hi all,
I've been having problems with my fuel gauge reading always full so today I decided to investigate. It turns out that the plastic arm of the spring/float has snapped in two. I've highlighted with a red line where it's snapped in the picture below. It's just held together by the wires now:
So my question is what do I need to replace? Can I replace just the top half minus the fuel pump itself or do I have to replace the entire thing. The sender unit is available as VAG part 1H0 919 670:
but all the connecting tubes worry me a little. Does anyone have any experience of doing this and if so could you advise please or if anyone can suggest any alternatives, I'm all ears. I thought about glueing it back together but if it comes apart again going over a bump I'm back to square one.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated,
InVame.
