Yep

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

any idea's what?

 

[Icarus83]

No ideas at all, your french car has developed a new feature!


....However, what does your fuel level say, is it still on the bottom of the dial?

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

nooope fuel dial is fine. where it normally is. its like as if the sensor has messed up.

Try turning on and pressing the reset on thr trip?

Like you do to view the oil level.

 

[dannyjenks]

just drive it about, it will probably start working again soon, my brother works at a petrol station and some car owners try to say they put petrol in and it hasnt gone up but it just needs to filter through first and they never return when they do

had a hire car couple of years ago and filled it up before taking it back, was about to turn into the hire place and noticed the fuel gauge was still on empty ( 2 miles from petrol station ). drove back to the petrol station to say that their pump cant be working but they said it was and to drive some more............after a total of 5 miles the needle went up to where it should've been

Had this once in my Laguna and once in the 182. I had left the ignition turned on and the fuel i put in did not show. Just went and put £5 in and it went all the way up.

could you explain this pwease.

/intrigued?

 

[Paddyhmfc]

Turn key and the trip says "oil ok" - unless its no of course.

If you then press in the reset button it gives an indication of how much oil you have with small squares. Not sure how acurate it is tho.

[joeyt172]
