I wish I could - I'm afraid I would probably do more harm than good! Lol |

Domus - I find your comment interesting as mine has just started making a clunking noise towards the back on the passenger side ..! Have you found out what the problem is? |

I had this problem with 57 plate just recently , last week in fact it had to be towed to garage as it would not start. I had experienced this problem with fuel gauge dropping off scale not long after I bought 2nd hand but it always happened when I was driving and always went away after a while. When I tried to start last tuesday it was showing the same fault and intermittently returning to 3/4 full after attempted starts. It was taken to a specialist diesel mechanic who replaced the throttle assembly and so far it appears ok but I have only been driving for a couple of days so fingers crossed but the fuel gauge has not dropped off so far. Cost of repair was £300 incl VAT parts & labour.However the dealer paid 2/3rds of the cost.Mileage is 115600 |

Mine is an 07 SE and at least once a month you can drive along watching the fuel gauge and miles remaining drop to zero. After a varying amount of time or miles both start to climb back up to original position. The first I notice is when the low fuel warning comes on. I now ignore it, but always reset a trip when I refuel so I know if I have fuel or not. 2007 TD4 SE Manual Santrini Black |

Since having the fuel sender unit replaced I can only fit 45 litres of fuel into the tank but it should hold 68 litres .... Does anyone know if you can buy 2 sizes of the unit or do I still have a problem????
