Stalling for some reason??
hi, my fuel gauge won’t go below ¼ of a tank before the car stalls (not fun on the motorway!!). I know there’s diesel in there, I think that it has a sticky float or somthing like that and was wondering how easy the fix is for it?? It’s a 1999 2.0 hdi.
Many thanks Matt

Re: Stalling for some reason??
What happend was the lift pump was removed at some point and not removed correctly, this damaged the float in the process and now its over-reading. Best solution is to pick up a newish tank unit from the scrappy. This doesnt have to include the fuel pump as you can put your own LP fuel pump in when you get the actual tank unit itself.
Its a quite common problem because there is a very small space and people catch the float arm in the roof of the tank when removing the unit from the tank.
