Title: Sudden Drop in FC..
Post by: baobao on October 04, 2010, 02:31:04 PM

Hi..Bros. I am having a problem with my latio lately..  not sure what to check for..
My FC for the last 5 tanks had dropped from 13km/l to 11km/l. and my fuel gauge is showing only 3/4 full when pumping fuel. Any bros here encounter problem like this?  :confused1:

Is your car under warranty?
If so send to TCM.

If not, send the car to a workshop for a check.
There maybe some contact issue in the float.
Ask the mechanic to clean it up and this may resolve you problem.

Do note that do not go when you still hv plenty of fuel in your tank.
It spill out when they open up to retrieve the float.
