Hi,
I am new to the forum
I have a 2002 Jetta TDI and am having a problem with the fuel guage.
It runs down to 1/2 tank and then either stays there or sometimes will climb back up.
Would like to know if anyone has had this problem.
Suspect that the tank resistance is the problem but not sure.
Any Ideas?

lol I ran out of fuel when my gauge said I had a quarter of a tank left. I would suspect the sender unit in the tank, lift up the back seat and on the right hand side is a black metal plate with 3 screws, remove them and take the plate off. You will then see the sender unit, remove the fuel pipes and wire connector and unscrew the big plastic nut thing to remove.

2nd. It's probably a sender. problem. The big plastic ring nut is pretty stiff, you can use a screwdriver and hammer to get it rotated.
