Well it looks like I will be doing mine now as it has just packed up. It was reading good and showing that i had just under 100 miles left, I thought that I would fill up tomorrow but when I started it up to nip around to my sons house it read empty. I was hoping that buying a newer model with warranty that I would be spared the constant niggling failures that i have become accustomed to but alas, it is not to be. The Best 4x4 by far, so long as you have deep pockets. |

Hi folks (i know this is an old thread) my L322 2012 RR Autobiography (with digital dash) reads full fuel (or near full) Fuel level ALL the TIME even after a few hundred miles from full fill up, the lowest it reads is like 1/2-3/4's full... how do i fix ?, im sure its a "stuck sensor" as i haven't used it for like 6 months and left it with a full tank of diesel... please help !! |

You could take the inspection plates off and exercise the floats / sensors to see if it makes any difference. You could also measure the resistance across the two sensors and see if one is wildly out. There are threads on here that walk through how to do it. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Soooo, i had a go, for others this may be helpful... you lift up the rear seats, remove the spare wheel cover, remove the rear seat locking brackets (large torx socket screw) remove the trim panels each side (partially, dont need to remove them at the top) then peel the carpet back (tie it to the folded up seats out of the way..)

My car has started reading half what it should do. First indication was today when the low fuel light came on, but reported range of 25 miles (half what it normally does when that happens).

Had this on mine and it was the connector just as others have said. It’s just a pain to do and you need a low fuel level to do the passenger side. I used a transfer pump and was lucky to have a fairly low level so only needed to pump 20L out. Very poor design but easily sorted. |
