My fuel gauge doesn’t work
Russboy:
So I got my 1st mk5 gti a few days ago. Refuelled it and now the fuel gauge is stuck on fuel. Can anyone help
bobby_fodge:
I assume you've done enough miles to know that the guage should be reading less than full?
Access for the intank pump/fuel level float is under the rear bench seat. You could check if the float is stuck and free it if that's the case.
Russboy:
The fuel gauge dropped to zero after a few miles, I turned the car off and on again and it went back to full, and it’s not dropped since. I’ve done about 40 miles and it’s not moved at all. :( also the digi fuel gauge still reads 335 miles to fill up.

Have you done a VCDS or another OBD2 scan for error codes?
pudding:
It'll either be the level sender on the pump housing (most likely) or the gauge itself (less likely).
