Heya!

I got a 2002 saxo vtr! And I have found that my fuel sensor is not that accurate! If I park slightly downhill or flat it will show I have more petrol then when I am moving. Then when I park after a journey it will then settle back to showing me I have almost a full tank.
Is this common or is the sensor gone?
I have taken in to consideration that the car is old and not going to be perfect.

Cheers :)

As Above its all down to the quality french manufacturing lol plus the sensor is on the fuel pump cradle so its a pain in the arse i think

What i have heared is that, after a while the level will leak in petol weighing it down. but it will mean to change it you will have to change the whole pump system which is rather expensive. around £100
