Fuel Gauge Not Working

Post by bestbass42 »

OK, 206cc 1.6s 2002/02 with 64k miles.

When we brought it it had no petrol in whatsoever.Sice then its had around £12 put in it & its still showing empty & the 'Low Fuel' warning & bleep keeps coming on.
Any ideas??? Is there a fuse for this?
Thanks in advance.

When my car's fuel tank is nearly empty I have to put about £15 of fuel before the fuel gauge moves. If I put any less in it doesn't move at all. My car is 2.0l though if it makes a difference?!?

That's around 8.5lts of fuel. You will need to put a bit more than that in for it to show.
