Hey all.

Mine's randomly just gone up the spout (no pun intended) :)

The guage has just dropped to zero, and the reserve light isn't even on.

Is it worth replacing both senders? (If mine has 2, which I believe some do?)

If not both, can anyone advise which one should be swapped? I believe it's a pretty easy job, seat up and the senders are pretty much under the sound proofing stuff?

Cheers for any advice.

First off, tell us what car you have.

Secondly, get your seats up and TEST the senders before you go buying new parts. All the info is in the Wiki:

Sorry, 91' 320i SE.

I checked the wiki earlier, but my post was more of a question to check if I have one, or two senders. They're not too pricey from ECP and 'i'm steadily replacing pretty much everything I can on the car, so i'm happy to just jump in and replace them, and if that doesn't work then it's onto the wiring checks :(
