Title: Fuel Guage not accurate
Post by: sliu on August 08, 2010, 11:38:33 PM: Hi,

My fuel guage is indicating 3/4 while i have filled up my tank till the brim.
Anybody know the price for replacing the fuel sensor or sender unit and which workshop?
My warrant had expired, therefore need to find an affordable workshop for repairing. :(

Thanks.

The meter goes down gradually as i drove to empty tank.
I pump the tank with petrol to rim again and it only need 25 litre.
I think the sender unit might have some problem.
Does anyone know the cost for repairing?

It's quite obvious that there is no more warranty for his ride, his typo is a little like short cut sms in some words but still can be deciphered.

Go to the workshop in Toh Guan, I think it's Autoaid. They seems to be quite well versed in our ride. I've never been there myself but will most probably use them for my next service. www.autoaid.com.sg, one brother have even replaced his aircon there. http://forum.thelatioclub.org/index.php?topic=10648.0

Post by: MadMatty on September 12, 2010, 06:20:27 PM: My Latio fuel gauge drops quite suddenly, one minute it could be at the full mark then it could suddenly drop between the full and 3/4 tank mark. Also same for the last 1/4 and empty mark....incidentally my top up fuel always comes up after 380km travel. I think its very poor FC for a car.
