Renault Megane Fuel Guage Problem

    Hi,

    Last week I had the timing belt changed on my Coupe and the car hasn't felt right since, its loud, appears to vibrate more and then yesterday it just wouldn't start. I got all the way to work no problem (approx 45mls) but it just wouldn't start in the evening. My mechanic towed it to the garage and after checking it over he says that my fuel guage is reading wrong and that I had run out of pertol. It was reading 123km remaining at the time.

    This evening I put €20 in it and the manual guage read to almost to half way and the digital guage read 303km remaining, however as I drove along the digital display started to drop dramitically after 4miles was down to 265klm remaining. On idle it continued to drop a klm approx every 30 seconds. The manual guage does not appear to drop, so I dont know whats wrong or where to go from here? Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Anyone got any ideas.

    303km sounds very little remaining for half a tank, Does the average MPG read decrease also when the kms remaining drops?

    I agree 303km is very low, when I left the car in for the timing belt there was 348km (I always check when leaving in the garage), when I got it back it had 127km. I didn't check the average MPG to be honest I was too busy watching the guage drop.
