    Default Petrol warning light staying on???

    Hi recently i changed a couple of globes in my vr berlina dash cluster, and im am 100 % positive i put the dash back together proparly, but now it has a problem of the low petrol warning light which comes on always within a minute of starting the car, even though it has plenty of petrol, and its reading correct on the petrol guage, so im sure its not a stuck float in the tank if its reading correct on the fuel guage. I have disconnected the battery to try and reset computer but it still does it. So is there a sensor on the tank or something? What could be doing this?

    I'd remove the dash again and triple check the work you did - do this with the battery disconnected. It is too much of a coincidence for the fuel light to fail at the same time as you replaced bulbs.

    No car is on straight petrol only, it always does it 20 to 30 seconds after starting the car, even when u fill it up, shows on the petrol guage that there is plenty of fuel in tank, but still it beeps. I have not fixed this yet, i think it must be a fuel sensor or something.
