Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

After just speaking to my Contact at P-car, They will replace the gauge cluster, it is a very well know problem, in fact mine was changed after the first fillup of fuel, they will try and update the ecu, if that fails new cluster you will get!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, My 996 (03' C4 cabrio) is having a stupid problem when the fuel level drops below 1/4 of the tank. The board computer states that there is no fuel inside the tank, so the remaining range is 0 (three dashes). Same indication I get from the PCMII b.c If I put less than 30 liters of fuel it still shows that its empty (three dashes). Most of the times if I fill it up it reads correctly, till the level drops below 1/4 again. As you understand, it works great when I go to the dealer Is it from the fuel level sender or from the gauge it self ?

POST 2Original post

I recall the dealer telling me some 996's have a fuel sender problem (or something like that). Might want to go to renntech.org and look at the TSB's.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Are these accessible to anyone ???
