04 1.6Hdi fuel gauge/computer readings - Armitage Shanks {p}
Comments on the performance of the fuel gauge and computer. Being an impoverished Meldrew I ran the fuel way lower than I ever have before as I had a 5p/litre off voucher to use! The gauge warning light came on with the needle well into the red and with 80 miles indicated as available range. I put in 10 litres and the needle didn't move at all and the range remained unchanged. I drove around for another day and put in another 10 litres and nothing changed, again! I filled up with 40 miles indicated range but only got 50 litres of fuel into a nominal 60 litre tank. As I see this, if you trust the readings you won't run out of fuel which is probably the one would want it
