Cabriolet (w reg)

[smiffee]

Hi to everyone
Just a quick question does any know how to solve a problem with my fuel gauge (audi cabriolet W reg) even when i fill up gauge only reads 3/4 full any assistance would be much appreciated

could be sensor in tank
or does the temp guage read low?
if so then the printed circuit on the dash pod as a dry soldered joint

Temp gauge is fine its just fuel gauge i would take panel off & clean but dont know how to release cable clusters any ideas

2 philips screws going upwards in steering column shroulds
lift upwards
then 2 philips screws at base of dash pod
it should then pull outwards and just clear the steering wheel
then you have to seperate the panel but you can see how this is done
check all the soldered joints and resolder any suspect ones
usually the ones by the little black 3 prong voltage stabilizer
and check the ones at the guages
