gas gauge woes
Woke up fell out of bed, filled the car in seconds flat. (Yes, you may sing along)
On the way, I noticed the gauge read flat out empty and the dashboard displayed the gas icon. After 10 minutes, the icon disappeared and the needle zipped up to the full position. Very strange. I know for sure the gas cap was turned past the clickety-click point. Has this happened to anyone else? Also, my trunk lock sometimes catches and sometimes does not.

If your keyfob is in a pantspocket and you lean close to the car, sometimes the lock will reopen...
Of course, this is if you have advanced key. If not, you might check the in-trunk panic lever adjustment.

I had the same fuel gauge problem, i filled with Premium Diesel and it dissapeared...
... now i fill with normal Diesel, but when i fill with a cheaper diesel the problem returns.
Maybe the same with Gasoline.

no advanced key, trunk lock has gremlins. I'll check the inside emergency release. I didn't think of that, never been locked inside the trunk before
Thanks anyway.

I believe there's a TSB on the trunk latch...
I had to have mine replaced. It started out just not catching sometimes, then got to where it would hardly ever catch, and if it did, I wouldn't want to use the trunk again for a while...
They replaced the latch and all is well!
