Sounds horrible. I hope not, after spending $602.00, not really looking to put more into it. Sad part is this is the only German car specialist in our city. There are more in the next city over, about 25-30 miles. Should have went elsewhere, but we had heard good things about this place. Oh well. He was supposed to have checked it to see what the problem was first. Possible that the sending unit and gauge itself are defective? If the gauge itself is bad, I guess all one could really do is swap out the cluster?

Does anyone know where the wire runs that goes to the sending unit? I have not had the seat out, but I would think the wire would be visible. Im confused. My mom is worried to death about it. We have been filling the car up every few trips out, but its getting old. I dont want her running out of gas.
