Hi Guys,
I have got myself a 2008 A6 Avant 2.7td LeMans.
Last week the fuel gauge packed up, I went online and found a post about checking/pulling the fuse. (This worked for 3 days) since then it has not worked.
I have been mindful of range as I've got no gauge, but this morning, the car drove a short while then packed up. I had run low on fuel (not empty as I had topped the tank on Friday) so I refilled and it drives.
The error codes from the AA were something to do with instrument cluster and 3 of the glow plugs.
I have investigated possible problems and am led to believe it be something to do with the fuel sender/fuel delivery system atop the tank.
However after removing the rear bench and taking off the 2 inspection panels, I can see no fuel sender!!???? WTAF?
Where is it on my car? As I'd like to check for loose/broken wiring before suffering the main stealer price for a new unit (£400 something)
Please see attached photos
