Hello,
The fuel consumption meter on my 1987 316 carburetter bmw doesnt work anymore. Where and how is fuel consumption measured and what could be the problem ? Tacho doesnt work either , sometimes it comes up for like 5 seconds. Anyone an idea ?

When you switch the ignition off does the red led service light stay iluminated?

None of those service leds are working , but i think they have been disabled on purpose a couple of years ago.

Possible that the Varta battery's on the service board have started to leak.
