Fuel gauge light on... how much fuel left?

[Jack Blag]

Does anyone know how much diesel is left in the tank when the warning light comes on in an Audi A6 1.9TDI (130)?

My 3.0 TDi Quattro will do aboy 30 miles when trip computer says range is 0. Not sure about the warning light as i go more by the trip computer.

Usually about 4 - 5 litres but I wouldn't want to chance it.

Running out of fuel is a diesel is a pain, as the fuel pump has to be re-primed before you can start the car again. Just filling up doesn't work.

Details of the quantity left in the tank are in the handbook

My RS4 had 7 litres left in it (pumped in 53 litres) about 5 min (mostly idling in heavy traffic) after the range said 0 miles.
