mine stuck once, tapped the front of the clocks, problem solved

[Alex]

yes, this happened with mine. like cambridge said give your clocks a tap and it may come unstuck. Does it read full when the ignition is off

[mikeoxford]

it could be a rusty or corroded connection on the sender

check them first

[mikeoxford]

clean them up with vinegar like u use on ur fish and chips. make sure you wiper any off paint work if it gus on there though.

[morpheus]

it doesnt read full when the ignition is off, it goes down to empty.

How do i clena the sender????

Do i have to take out the clocks??

Is it worth fitting a Digi dash to fix this???

Help me guys!!!!!!!

dididash will only fix the problem if it is something wrong with the guage, i suspect faulty wiring on the sender.

you need to clean the terminals on the sender by removing the wires, use a splash of malt vineagr (u have on ur chips) and wipe clean

use a little emery pap er to clean finally.

to take out the clocks have a look on:
nova-land.com > How To Guides > Interior > Digidash Guides

both mk1 and mk2 are there and they detail removing the clocks.

where is the sender??????

[jatinder]

on the bottom or top of ur petrol tank depending on car mines on the bottom facing the back of the car

[morpheus]

Ive got a GSi, any ideas on where it is and how you can take it out and clean it?????

[PE4]

If you do find that it is on the bottom of your tank (like mine is 1.3 SR) make sure you don't have much fuel left, cos when my mate removed his, he watched ?30 pour into the drain...doh

I would also go to great lengths to fix it if poss, cos they are over ?40 from the garage :o

[morpheus]

When i put the ignition on it goes straight to full? Does that sound like the clocks or the sender. It is always registering full????

[mikeoxford]

sender, wire or connector problem.

take the battery leads off, and see if the needle goes down, that eliminates a clock problem

[morpheus]

Mike,

When I turn the ignition off it does go down to empty, does that help??

[Aragorn]

for the third or 4th time:

its the sender, go look under the back of the car at the rear of the tank, u should se 2 wiresfixed to a round plate

make sure they are both connected properly and clean em up a bit

Thanks!!!!!
