Hey guys, Ryan stopped by last night and purchased my TC, and is currently driving it to Georgia by way of Virginia. Fortunately, everything is running okay, but he seems to be having a problem with the fuel gauge. He called and said he had filled the car up at 1/2 tank, then drove another 245 miles, and says while it did come down slightly, it still reads full. Tuesday night, before Ryan came to see the car, it had a 1/4 tank, so I took it and filled it up with 14 +/- gallons. The gauge read slightly higher than full, what I was accustomed to seeing. After driving the car Wednesday to get it inspected and sniffed, then test drive, I noticed it read 3/4 of a tank. Ryan left with that. I know they get execellent MPG on the highway considering size and all, but this sounds a little extreme. I was thinking it maybe IVR related, but he says all the other gauges are working fine. I had the fuel pump, pick-up and sender replaced maybe 8-12 months ago.....any ideas what would cause this in such a small amount of time?
