    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me, the fuel indicator is shoing that I have no petrol even though the tank is full, does anyone know how much would the sensor cost me, and where can I get it done?

    I assume that it's the older shape as tank sender units have been known to give trouble with symptoms as you describe. Any decent independent will be able to sort this out.

    Part price is around €350 (main dealer) as the sender unit comes complete with the fuel pump. I don't know if there is a spurious part available, but you could check with the likes of www.otto.ie

    well its a 99 s 40, God I wasnt expecting 350 euro, thats a lot, I mite as well buy a new car, its not worth fixing it, so the sensor is 350 euro? I was planning on buying a new car in november anyway!

    You might be able to get one from a scrap yard that will do you until you trade the car.

    Either that or keep an empty jerry can handy in the boot.

    well I know that if I bring it to the volvo dealers they will ask me for a lot of money, he said I need to bring it in and see how much, he needs the chassie number or something like that, I am bringing it in tomorrow curious to see how much it is!
