Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 Fuel gauge sender replacement
Do you need to replace a faulty Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 fuel gauge sender?
The fuel gauge sender on your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 is located in your fuel tank and reads the amount of fuel in the tank.
During normal driving conditions, the fuel gauge sender may last your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303's whole lifespan, although an unforeseen failure can occur that requires the fuel gauge sender to be replaced.
If you notice these signs:
- The fuel gauge reads empty at all times
- The fuel gauge is stuck at ‘full’
- The gauge needle fluctuates at random times
There’s a good chance your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 requires a fuel gauge sender replacement.
Continuing to drive your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 when the fuel gauge sender isn’t working won’t cause any harm, however, you may run out of fuel if you don’t carefully monitor your fuel situation.
That can put you at risk of an accident if you run out of fuel in traffic.
While there’s no risk of additional damage by driving with a faulty fuel gauge sender, you’ll have more driving confidence if you know how much fuel is left in the Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 fuel tank.
When you do go to replace the fuel gauge sender be aware that some fuel gauge senders are part of the fuel pump assembly and must be replaced as a complete unit.
