Also, on the C4S I believe there is a mandatory calibration that needs to be done when replacing the fuel sending unit.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Fuel guage doesn 't work. It's been to the shop a couple times, had the fuel pump, and sending unit replaced still doesn't work. Anybody have this issue? The needle is stuck at the half way mark. If I fill it up there is a 1 in 10 chance it will show full but it will never go below 50%.

POST 2Original post

Sounds like a wire, plug or cluster issue. I would trace the wiring first and make sure that has correct resistance and continuity. There could be an issue with wiring and/or plug. Test and clean with alcohol and see if that works. Take the cluster out next and inspect it and see if there is anything off about it...if all of that checks out then time to swap a cluster (gauge portion). https://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-02-Por...wAAOSwk5pfEbe7 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...or-change.html

POST 3Original post

Even though new...maybe a faulty sending unit, or it is getting hung up in the tank. C2 or C4S? Different tank styles. Different tank sending units. Also, on the C4S I believe there is a mandatory calibration that needs to be done when replacing the fuel sending unit.
