Fuel gauge sticking!

Post by Sean »

I've never seen this before.

My fuel gauge rises very slowly when the ignition is on but does not move down once the ignition is switched off :( . Has anyone seen this before??

Is it easy to remove the perspex to gain access to the dials??

It's normal behavior on the mk2 - unlike most other (newer?) cars, the fuel guage needle doesn't drop down when the engine is off.

Cheers for that info' .
I've only had the car for a week so I didn't know whether it was broken or not but I was sure it went down a few days ago when I switched the engine off. I must be getting confused with my other car.

Cheers fella.
