Hi, I know I have posted about this before (on the old forum) but no-one really had a answer and I know other people are experiencing the same problem.
The range always shows around 20 miles - even if the tank is full.
By pressing the 1 and 1000 button, the obc displays what it thinks it has in the tank.
This always shows as 3.5l

Someone told me that this uses the same sensor as the fuel gauge on the dash - if this is the case it's a problem with my obc.

If i change the obc to the european setting (l/100k) and back, then the obc thinks it has around 40 litres in the tank, the range appears to be working but steady works it way back to 3.5 (faster than the actual fuel in the tank disapears) and never goes back up even after a re-fuelling.

Hope someone can help, and that this will help other

Thanks

Pete

I have to say its gotta be related to the OBC module iteslf not the display,only a guess though as my sports OBC was spot on and so no i never took much notice of it, and the SE doesn't have one

but a free BTTT for you anyway M8
