[sting ls2]

apparently the things have been happening in the cadillac cts,with our hfv6 190, the problem is the fuel sender unit.

So the Yanks can identify the fault with our HFV6 190, but Holden Australia who make it and have the 190 and the 175 fitted locally can't!

WTF is going on at Holden?

Complacency and arrogance quickly come to mind.

I recommend evryone with a problem phones Holden Customer Care and talk with the same guy who is dealing with my complaint, Darren Ph: 1800 033 349
If the same person gets several people with the same complaint they may start to believe what we are telling them!

well apparently mine is now fixed. they pulled out the fuel tank and changed the float level or some crap. i will let you all know how it goes over the next few weeks

I had this done to mine and while it seemed to make a small difference at first I am now convinced it was just a case of too little sleep and too much coffee on my part combined with a smattering of wishfull thinking.

But best of luck with it, I hope they manage to do a better job with yours.

i have a vz s pack ute and the other day the empty warning came on and i had 70 kms to go which is about 8 litres in the tank but i only put in 44 litres.

i havent worked out how accurate the L/100kms is but in the motor mag the said is was roughly 2 litres out. i wouldnt use it as a accurate measurement but more of a guide to the different amounts of fuel used at different speeds and gears.

my fuel gauge seems to move only when u turn the car off and then on again. when your driving u dont notice it move.

there definitely is a problem a accuracy problem with the gauge but nothin to cry over.

Yes I have a starndard VZ ute and have the same problem. I have had it back to Holden 3 times but they are unable to rectify it? They do acknowledge that it is a problem.

Are you serious, did you really fit an additional fuel gauge?
If so, how did you wire it and does it read correct?

Yeah that seems like a plan!! I got a courtesy call from my dealer just to let me know that they're still investigating the problem...oh well not much else to do.
