Diesel gauge doesn't work properly. What should I do?

Hi all,

I would appreciate if somebody gives me a bit of advice. Perhaps somebody who has experienced the same problem. The diesel gauge on the dashboard of my A4 (b7) doesn't show accurate measurements. Even it tricked me the other day into calling RAC when the car all of a sudden stopped. Well, what the RAC person did was to pour some diesel in my tank and embarrass me.

Could anybody share some ideas as per how to fix this? Would I need to change the gauge on the dashboard or is it something to do with the tank?

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Well, it was showing that I had at least 1/4 of the tank full but in fact there wasn't any diesel left. Also when I fill it up it moves to 3/4 full instead of right to end.

Any ideas? Where is the sensor located? I suppose it is in the tank? Do you know how much it would cost me to get it fixed?
