I guess it was vw's accountants not letting them modify the mk3's wiring loom to add the low fuel light!!

Nothing to do with wiring loom, if you got a VDO speedo you only need to put the bulb in!

I put the missing bulbs in and got the light on continuously..... I read up on the seat loom and found it was wired differently to the golf!!

Yes, am sure - suggest you use google translate for this:

Google translator sucks along with Germans who force me to speak the worst German in a south London accent :laugh:
Do us a favour and translate it for us, none of your Austrian trickery either :grin:

Not much to translate...

All you need is a VDO speedo that starts from 0 km/h-mp/h and a 1.1W bulb.... orange bayonet socket.

take your speedo and shine torch on the right side where the warning lights are, you'll see the one for the fuel warning light. put the bulb in - done.

what do you mean with austrian trickery  :whistle:

the interesting bit i understood was this

Quote
starts at the beginning of the red zone (reserve) to shine - somewhere in the red zone (center, ...) -. or never a certainty that it works does not exist. . the indicator light is not even at the beginning when the ignition, but only if the tank is nearly empty . There are also cases where it does not at all ,

I have lots of these spare bulbs so might give it a go at the weekend?
