[QUOTE="StuF, post: 503457, member: 17262"] Do you have a multimeter? This pic is from Samba: [img]http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/233295.jpg[/img] Your dash should be just like this (flipped over if RHD). The Fuel Gauge terminals are at the top right. Pull the Brw wire off the "G" terminal on the gauge. Connect multimeter to chassis earth (dash metal) and to the Brw wire. Set meter to Ohms range. It should read between Zero Ohms (Full) and 100 Ohms (Empty). More important, it should be quite steady even driving the Bus. That test should help decide if the sender is faulty or not. You can test the gauge by jumpering the "G" terminal (where Brw wire was) to chassis earth. Gauge should go to FULL. That should give you something to work with. If a previous owner modified the circuit with non-orig parts, all bets are off. :D Info taken from speedyjims website - he helped me sort my gauge issue [/QUOTE]
