Fuel Fillup light.

[Creepy Coupe]

I was always under the impression the R32 had a 55 ltr tank, however after reading a suppliment that came with the handbook pack, it states 60 ltrs.

So today with only 25 miles left on the fuel trange display I was surprised the little fuel pump light didn't illuminmate. even after driving for 10 miles with 25 miles left dispayed, it still didn't light up.

I wondered if VW had fitted a bigger fuel tank, but had forgetten to inform the on board computer.
As I'd imagine the little fuel pump light works off of the float level and not what the OBC says.

I seem to remember from the Gti and Ed30 that I drove the fuel light came on around the 25-30 miles range to go.  Hmmm, seems strange, even if you have a bigger tank that the light still wasn't on at 25 to go.  Did you fill up then, or push on untill the warning came on?  If you did the former could it be that the alert refuel isn't working on your MFD?  Is it a highline or midline MFD?

I didn't fill up, and will try to get closer to home tonight, light comes on when the ignition is switched on,if that means anything, and it's a highline comp.

I have had a big orange fuel pump sign come up on mine telling me i have to refuel - its just as annoying as the windscreen water level light!

Cant remember at what point (in miles) it comes on though

Yes I have the same, except it hasn't come on yet, well only when I first switch the ignition on.

Mine (GTi) comes on at 30 miles but i struggle to actually get 30 miles out of it. Partly as it keeps flashing up every minute and it's gets filled up just to shut it up.

Do you have a fuel can with you in the boot?  You might need it.  Seriously though, when you say it comes on when you turn the ignition on, does that also happen when the tank is full, or does it only come on now, with the tank nearly empty?

Yes I think it would come on for the few seconds it does, regardless of quantity, except of course if it WERE empty.
Working out the tank range, based on 25 mpg and leaving half a gallon in and a 55 ltr tank I should be able to cover 290 miles, and I've covered 296 so far.

Mine comes on at 40 miles every time.

How strange!! Definately at 30 miles it goes bong and the big fuel pump sign appears intermittently.
