| Fuel gauge drops to 0 then back up? |
|
Our Disco 3 did it once about 2 years ago as a "one off" but now happened 6 or 7 times today alone.
The fuel low/level bongs and fuel gauge drops to 0 when there is say 180 mile range.
Had been told fault could lie in wire loom passing in N/S rear wheel-arch.
Anyone else had this problem?
Car drives normal etc whilst doing it so not an issue with breakdown etc.
Happy New Year by the way š

That is a possibility, Iām sure disco-Mickey had a post about it. The other possibility is a fuel tank sender, there are two in the tank. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Mine did that, was a wire that had rubbed on the chassis just behind the front drivers wheel. IID, webasto software and workshop facility's available.
