Hello There From Australia!
I have a 2009 Passat CC 2.0L TDI (CBBB engine) 6 spd DSG. The vehicle has done 103,000 miles.
Several weeks ago I ran out of diesel - strangely the MFD said I had 60 miles before the tank would be empty - apparently, not so! Before this the MFD struck me as being very accurate as far as estimating distance to empty.
All good after that initial tank refill until yesterday; because my wife and I sometimes drive the car she thought I had been re-fuelling and I thought she must have been refuelling; no one had been refuelling - looks like the gauge is permanently on 40% full!
Can anyone please tell me if this a common problem (stuck fuel gauge)?
I was going to fill-up with diesel from a jerry can, but before I do, I thought it might be better to remove the in-tank electric pump and check the float and sender unit?
Any thoughts?
Is there a run-through somewhere that might help me diagnose/fix this issue?
Kind Regards, Paul.
