I'm sure my MK3 used to over-read when facing down a hill.

Let's face it though, £10 isn't very much...I wouldn't expect to see much of an increase on my fuel gauge.

well i have seat Ibiza gti clocks in atm they have been working all fine since now so empy is empty no "in the red" on the gauges so from a quarter to nothing over night

Might be a faulty sender in the tank then, thats a fairly common problem with mk3's

How's it a pig of a job? There's the access hatch under the rear seats, pull the pump out, change sender, pump in, wash the petrol off your hands, job done!

that does sound easy when you explain it like that.
