Fuel Gauge working wrong way round

Barr

Hi All

My sister has bought a 2000 Ibiza 1.Occ.

The fuel gauge needle was in the needle when she bought it but instead of getting empty it is going the opposite direction and is nearly full mark at this stage (despite not adding petrol)

Any idea for a fix?



Thanks

Spend €300 on another 00 Ibiza.

Start using a syphon pump on it and selling fuel - Its the Golden goose you have, you lucky sucker. The greens will love you, you might have the solution to the global energy shortage - offer to buy it off your sister quick before she cops on. (I'd offer big if I was you)

It's the modern day equivalent of the loaves and the fishes!!

I'll give you €10,000* for it!

Scratch an 'F' over the 'E' and vice versa. Seriously, sounds like the fuel sender is fecked.

Hilarious - anyone else have an alternative to the Siphoning principle.

:DBeen outside it a fair while Barr. Pull off the dash and reverse the wires to the gauge, or lift the rear seat squab and find the wires going to the sender, and reverse them, go on, ruin my dream!:D

I knew there was an answer in there somewhere - thanks

No Bother - the lads probably messed up the wires when they had the dash off clocking it.:D
