Hello everyone, Im new to this forum and new to my A6Q. Has anyone had problems with the fuel guage going on emphty even if there is a half tank of gas in the car? Sometimes it will go down to emphty and then I shut the car off and it will go back up upon restart. Sounds like a sending unit but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen any stupid little things go wrong in that area. Thanks for any info.....JP

guage, the sender, or the wiring in between.

Do you have a voltmeter? ;O)

Some models were recalled for showing full when they were empty. My fix, and it mostly works, was to tighten the ground wire in the left rear tail light assmbly. Now it seldom, but occasionally, happens.
