News Opened the fuel gauge unit sender and couldn't fix the light low fuel alert but the gauge is working... So i won't touch again. Brakes issues in progress with re-tightening rear shoes as suggested + new front pads to balance forces. I have the car to pass the C.T again. And i recently had an opportunity in 2nd hand sales for cheap : all functional Terratrip with GPS signal for the saloon Pi. A touch of sports for the car, and as my mate Philippe an I are participating to regional historical vehicles races, maybe ready for doing so or 2nd car ready. Easy to uninstall with no visible mount damage if i need to remove it

OK, i could open (slighlty and not completely because of welds) the sender unit, it's plastic and metal this scheme is what should be (i guess) : 2 parallel inner branches. 1 sliding on the copper wire to indicate level and secondary makes contact for low fuel. So when the 2 branches (red on scheme) are full left, there should be light and gauge should indicate empty (am i correct?). What i have : - when the 2 branches are down and in contact pole, gauge says FULL, when moving them to the opposite, they indicate EMPTY - alarm light never shuts/off - branch sliding on copper wire makes scratches at some point - outer lever can be moved away from the axle, not sure it's always tightened enough to the axle So, to still get the level info, i put the sender unit on this position in order to have at least 1 correct information on gauge : fuel level in the tank

Do you know the position or orientation the seal plate should be in order to close the tank and the lever to operate? 1st i want to get the fuel level back on the gauge 2nd fix the alarm level red light I'm watching Youtube vids to find how to test the sender unit

I just checked. The problem is the switch in the tank. At some moment moving the branch lever i noticed a slight difference in the light on the dash but never "switched off" Do you know any tutorial about the hole thing because i don't think i can open the stuff to see inside. During the operation the lever went off. And as there's no mark or position indication I'm a bit lost. I wish i had the tank full as the gauge says but i lnow it's nealy empty .🙄

Thanks for the tip. That's what i almost tried to do so i will just have a look at the rear right side to tighten a bit. I'm closed to succeed and i keep faith. Luc

C.T failed today (french MOT). Only brakes problem : - front slight difference left 250 daN / right 210 daN - rear significant difference left 205 daN / right 75 daN - hanbrake good rear brake cylinders are new, bled 5 times... shoe pads are nice and i sand paper them + drums cleaned What could it be?
-
Thanks, i'll check that. One thing's for sure : low level light doesn't appear.

Yes, the needle seems moving accordingly to fuel level.

Any ideas why the FUEL red light is always "on" on the center cluster ? Even long time after ignition and 3/4 of the tank filled...😮💨
