Dashboard

[Schmock]

Ey guys I just brought a VL Wagon today and the fuel gauge is a bit stuffed.. The person i brought it off was telling me that when its got a full tank it goes to full but then the next day the gauge says its empty and stays that way.. any ideas what that could be?

Here's some pics of it..
Going to lower it very soon but hey its real clean..

Thats HOT

No suprise your from Victoria


About the gauge, i had a similar problem with my old Wagon. I didn't know what was wrong with it, but i had a berlina dash to go in, and the gauge on that one was fine. Thats all i can suggest.

thanks man, yeah i've got a few different dash's here so i might just play around with it n see if that fixes it..

i got a AutoMeter Gauge to hook up too just trying to find a good spot to put it.. don't want up ontop of dash like everyone else..

Don't ruin it with big wank factor gauges.


A berlina Dash or Calais Dash will have everything you'll ever need.


You can also just change the actual fuel gauge if you have parts lying around

I got the gauge off my brother for my birthday so i kinda don't want to be a prick to him and just have it sittin around collecting dust.. lol

in some cases the needle came lose so it could move around, noticable when cornering

Yeah my needle can move a 1/4 tank in either direction when cornering hard depending on which way the car is going, even when I boot it sometimes with 3/4 or less the fuel seems to get pushed back by G forces and will read lower because the float has gone down then returns to normal when driving normally.
