996tt broken fuel gauge
Discussion
Running a bit low on petrol yesterday, fuel computer went down to "9 miles remaining" buy the time i got to the petrol station that sold super unleaded it had changed to -- !!! put in £25 quids worth of super and the gauge has,nt even registered, and the range still says -- with the message Consider range of fuel remaining, any one else had this happen and is it covered under Porsche warranty !!! please say yes!!!
As said before by the other guys....
all 4 wheel drive porsches have what is called saddle petrol tanks where there is a hump in the middle of the tank to accomodate the front diff so it needs more than £25 fuel to register on the gauge just fill it up all the time.
keep the tank brimmed you have more weight over the front end of car plus all your wheel alignment values change when the tank uses the fuel...you have to set all values wth a full tank of fuel.
The difference is alot.
