hi, im back again, this time i have another new one, started my car up today and fuel gauge showed half a tank(showed that when i switched off), i drove for about half a mile with a few lefts and right turns and i looked at the dash and noticed the fuel gauge had gone up to 3 quaters full, it took the rest of the journey for the needle to settle to half again (20 mins) i thought that driving round corners would cause the fuel in the tank to shift and make the needle move but it has never done this before! i have also heard that dash pods fail, is this a possible symptom of a failing dash or has anybody had this before? car is a golf mk 3 1997 1.9 tdi, many thanks in advance.
