    Electrical question: fuel gauge/sender regulator? I've had a Aug 71> one year only early bay fuel tank fitted to my splitty along with its corresponding 12v fuel sender. All has gone well, but apparently the gauge needle dances around a bit as apparently the early bay gauges normally had a...

    Our Splitty has had at some point it's speedo replaced with a later Beetle one which incorporates a fuel gauge (not working). I'm replacing the speedo with the correct one (no fuel guage) and my question is, back in 1959 did Splits not have a fuel gauge (I can't see any wiring from the fuel...

    Hi folks. Yesterday, as I was driving home, the fuel gauge stopped working suddenly. Now it won't register anything at all. I've looked at the connections on the top of the petrol tank and there's current running to the tank and a good connection with the earth lead too. I've tried to take of...

    Hi I have a 1973 late bay with an odd fuel gauge. To cut a long story short before laying her up for the winter whilst driving the fuel gauge went from close to full to 2/3 full, to full etc and then disappeared from view (not sure if it went to the empty or full side). I then filled the tank...

    Hi. In an effort to get my 1302 fuel gauge working I have replaced the sender and gauge. I now get a reading but it varies with engine rpm. The faster the engine is revving the higher the reading. When the ignition is first turned on the gauge needle creeps up then flicks back a couple of...

    I have been struggling with a dodgy fuel guage on my GT Beetle for over a year now and can't seem to find the problem. The guage varies wildly from 3/4 full to 1/4 full to not registering at all. When you turn the ignition on, it pulses upwards to a level and the Ground and Oil lights pulse...

    Hey guys, My fuel gauge stopped working recently. Well, it works when the tank is full - and then once i run through some petrol it starts to drop, and then just stops reading and the gauge drops to zero for the rest of the tank. Took it out, and tested it against the gauge - earthing the...

    ...just fitted a new (2nd hand) resistor to my '70 bug. There is a wire from the tank to the gauge which is present. The resistor is earthed through the small screw into the rear of the speedo. The resistor is connected to the guage... ...when i put power to the other connection the guages...
