Hi guys,
Last Thursday evening I filled up a complete tank in my VY II S. I had about a quarter of a tank prior to filling up.
After driving for about 15 - 20 minutes, I noticed that my fuel gauge had barely gone up - it had reached about 1/2 way. It wasn't until a good 45 minutes later did it actually make it's way up to the 'Full' point. Now, the problem is, it won't leave that point. It appears although I have a full tank of petrol all the time. I wouldn't be complaining if that was actually the case, heh.
The trip computer says I have 300~km remaining in the tank, which obviously isn't a full tank.
I done some searching around this forum and noticed that this was a known issue for the VX, but not so much for the VY. A lot of people have said that the best solution is a new Fuel Sender Unit for around $500.
Are there any cheaper solutions that anyone knows of? Anything I can check before having to fork out that kind of coin? And if it does come to coughing up the cash, where would be the best place to get one of these?
Thanks guys. Most appreciated.
