It's been a long week since I got my S3, drove it over last weekend and noticed the fuel gauge wasn't dropping, even after 150 miles.
I called the stealers on Saturday, got the courtesy car on the Monday.
Next day they told me it was the fuel sender unit, which I'd already worked out having replaced a few of them in various cars.
Car was delivered on the Wednesday, I got to drive it for 2 minutes before it died a sudden death, almost at the entrance to the Clyde tunnel.
The monkeys who work for the stealers hadn't connected the pipe which connects BOTH senders in the S3 tank, once the fuel level dropped it was sucking air, not petrol.
S3 was returned today, but I notice the digital MPG display can read whatever it wants, unless you are cruising on a straight road at a steady speed.
Is this normal? If I accelerate or turn a corner the MPG can drop, read really high or even display the - - - .
The fuel gauge is working fine, and the overall MPG and distance you can travel readings seem to be fine also.
