Fuel range display on dash not working?

Hi all

The fuel gauge shows a quarter tank left,but the display shows no distance remaining.

I disconnected the battery,but the display still shows no reading upon reconnection.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

how does a reset occur when re-fuelling?

Thanks

Mine sometimes got confused if I did not fill the tank completely when it was near empty. It did not update the range function. If i filled up all the way it works as it should.

Jip. You need to pour a solid chunk of petrol into the tank to stir up the sensor. Hope your bank manager has a strong heart.

I did that and the display is almost normal...

I put in R200(I know that's just a couple of drops :oops: ), which is 14 litres,and the range shows 188 km left,which roughly equates to 13km/l,and that would be just fantastic!!

All is good and everything works as it should.

Thanks for the guidance
