gas gauge failing?
The gauge cluster in my 2003 New beetle convertible freaked out a month ago and jumped to 1 1/2 tank (way above full, needle pointed straight down toward 6 o clock, full is at 4 o clock) i released the clear plastic cover after several trips in the car and this not changing and moved the needle back to full when I filled up with gas. it worked normal for a month until now, every time i turn the car off the needle drops to empty and then twitches toward empty and the needle moves down 1/8 inch. everytime i turn on and off the key it goes 1/8 more until the needle is straight down. i can then move it back to empty and it will keep doing it. sooooo, im guessing ill need a new instrument cluster, how do i replace this with the immobilizer, keys, mileage, gas gauge reading adjustment,misc? I have rosstech, am i prisoner of the dealer?
