Boxster S fuel gauge not working

[maxpaul]

Hi Guys as the title the fuel gauge on my Boxster S 2004 is not working the yellow low fuel light is on, so I think we have power, and no fuses are blown. Where is the fuel tank sender unit?
I cant find it under the hood so I guess its under the o/s wheel arch liner ?

Paul,

It is under the battery tray. 4 13mm bolts to remove. It might just be that it needs calibrated.

Hi Frank
Thanks for the reply. How do you re calibrate the fuel sender unit?

Need PIWIS tester. If you are nearby pop in and we'll take a look for you.

I do love a thank you even when Ive not earned it.lol But as Ken says might need recalibrating.
Question, have you disconnected the battery lately with a lowish fuel tank?? you might have to completely fill the tank back up for the DME to start registering and calculate the fuel level.

Hi Guys
The Thankyou was for the prompt reply not for sorting the problem! This is a sales car we have in stock so not looking to fill with fuel unless we have to!
