Dodgy Fuel Guages
 
I just had my 20K service and I have been told that both fuel senders need to be replaced as one of them is slightly out of specification.
That's why the last RH fuel LED wasn't working.

So those of you with the same problem you will be waiting a couple of weeks for new senders to arrive from Japan.

Exactly the same diagnosis as mine a few days ago. I'm on the waiting list now for both senders.

How much did the 20k cost? I've got 1000km to go. Also I've got bloody 2 lights out. Anyone got 3?

The service cost the same as the 10k service $263.00, but thy didn't reset the service warning in the trip computer!

so its not just sulphur deposits. its the actual sender malfunctioning. so they actually have to be replaced.

evse82 02-04-2010 05:07 PM

I've got one out too. I might just call them and let them know before my 10K service to get it fixed.

The last 2 filled up 3 was out..., but after 10 mins of driving its back into two....and sometimes after a day (not much driving probably up 15km) the 2nd light lit up :shakes head:

I will pop in to dealer sometimes next week, hope they wont blame my mods for it!

evse82 02-04-2010 06:36 PM

'Sorry your car is too low which causes the fuel senders to malfunction as they only work at a certain height' :p wouldn't surprise me ahaha

nah you'll be right. I might pop in sooner than 10k too so I get the parts ordered in

I'm booked in for next wednesday to have my fuel senders and mats replaced and also once again the hatch opening problem has come back even with the new longer springs.

Majestik 03-02-2010 03:09 AM

I filled up til it over-flowed just to make sure. Started the car and had 4 lights off!! Over the next day, I gradually went back - a light at a time - up to my original 1 light off.

I've got my 20k service due in the next few weeks. Would your advice be to let them check out the problem pre service so they have the parts ready or is it now a common enough problem for them to fix on the spot?

I called today and they said i have to bring it in

Dropped mine off this morning for the 10K and i too have mentioned the end two lights not working.
They just say we need to have a look, even made sure i filled the car up to the brim before i went in.

My final light came back on the other week when i put 98 octane in and after about 50km of driving. I'll see if the light comes back on tonight... I really want to avoid them having to replace the senders... i'm almost positive they'll screw something else up...

Any of you guys try techron or any other fuel system cleaner to try and fix the problem?

370z Reasons... i'm sad to hear that the new longer springs stuff up as well... if these new ones stuff up i'm gonna ask for like ten of them near the 3 year mark so that i can replace them as required after the warranty period.

My 2c is I've got the new springs but over time they seem to get 'weaker' as I'm starting to have latch catchin issues again :(
