Fuel gauge stopped working
Hi my fuel guage reads nothing , it suddely went like this it has not been eratic . I have the following error off vcds Sunday, 30 June 2013, 09:44:50.
VCDS-Lite Version: Release 1.2
Control Module Part Number: 8D0 919 910 K
Component and/or Version: B5-KOMBIINSTR. VDO D09
Software Coding: 00460
Work Shop Code: WSC 00000
Sorted out the fuel guage now , a wire had come off the sender unit in the tank , but now my glow plug light is flashing and there are no vag com errors or brake light problems
VCID: 341B9FD31723
Additional Info: IMMO-IDENTNR: AUZ7Z0W0544969
1 Fault Found:
00771 - Fuel Level Sensor (G)

does this mean the fuel sender is faulty ???? I took the lead of the sender and looped it out surely that should make the fuel guage read as full but it did nothing , any help greatly appreciated .

yes you were right a wire had fallen off the sender unit in the tank but I have anew problem in that my glow plug light is flashing and it has never done it before and it only started when I took the instruments out and then sorted the fuel sender unit , my brake lights are working fine ??????

I did that job in January. Put my hand down in a tank of 10F gasoline. Once you get it out, the fix is really easy. I'd start by actually fixing the sender. See it here: Tech Article Title
