Accent MC (2006-11) :: 2007 - Dipstick Reads Over Full

I have a 2007 accent. I just changed the oil and filter. I typically don't look at the dipstick after I change the oil but this time I did. The dipstick is ready a good 1/4 inch over full after the change. I started the car and let it run for a while and it still reads the same.

I don't see how I put too much oil in, but I am paranoid that I did. Is it typical for this model to read a little over full on the dipstick?

Phaeton :: Fuel Gauge Reads Near Empty

Problem: Fuel tank near empty and the gauge (appropriately) reads near empty. I pull into a gas station and fill up. In spite of a full tank, the fuel gauge is still near empty and the warning light/chime is still on. I turned the car off and restarted it several times but no change.
I can't recall any and could not find any reference in the table of contents.

We just past 1000 miles on our new 08 2.0T wagon and there is '0' oil consumption. The dipstick reads completely full. And...it is noticeably cleaner than our 06 2.0T after 1000 miles (after oil changes).

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Gas Gauge Always Reads Empty And The Light Is On

I've been fighting this for weeks with no success. Gas gauge always reads empty and the light is on. I checked the resistance of both sending units sitting in the tank 28 ohms on the right and 50 ohms on left. That should be within spec right? And when I pulled them out the ohms change at a steady rate with the arm down to 4 or 5 ohms.

I've checked all the fuse, all good. And I do have a for fuel level sensor A. Is there supply voltage checks I can do, or ground something to try to get some reading?

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Gas Gauge Reads Empty After 40 Liters (11 Gallons)

When the gas gauge of my recently purchased 2007 Santa Fe GLS 2.7 automatic is on E it will only take approx. 40 liters (11 gallons) at the pump. Manual says it's a 75 litre (19.8) gallon tank. Called dealership and service advisor said "they are all like that, you can go quite some distance on E". I think he's full of something that creates gas and there's a problem with either my float or the sending unit in the tank. Why in the world would anyone make a vehicle with a "reserve" pass E almost as much as what the gauge reads before E?

Golf V R32 :: Fuel Gauge Reads Empty But Tank Is Full?

Full tank and the gauge reads empty. Has happened to me a few times. Occurs after a fillup and disappears after the car is left to sit for a while off. I would hate for this to happen on a long drive. Dealer hasn't been able to duplicate the issue. Am wondering if this might be related to the hiccup in some way. Also, am wondering if this is a fuse issue.

SC/SL/SW :: 2001 SL2 Not Starting And Fuel Gauge Reads Empty With More Than Half Tank Of Gas

My 01 sl2 wont start and the gauge says that the car is empty (before this problem, everything was working fine). I know that I have more than a half tank of gas, the car continuously turns over but wont start. I replaced the fuel pump and still it wont start (not to mention that the tank was more than half full at the time). I checked all the fuses and relays and everything seems fine. I am not even getting gas pumped to the filter.

Prius (Gen 1) :: Fuel Gauge Reads Full Bars Only When Tank Get Empty

I'm new to the Gen 1.

All has been well in just over a month of driving the car and about 3300 miles logged. The 12v, Aux battery was dead from the car sitting on the lot for so long (I replaced with a new OEM Toyota 12v battery) After a week of the car experiencing dim headlights, and various other electronics

No codes or CEL though.

Now that the 12v battery has been replaced, the car runs exceptionally well, aside from an intermittent fuel gauge issue where it only reads full bars (completely full) if I let the tank get to empty (Flashing single bar) or close to that. If I fill the tank from s

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 1994 B2300 - Gas Gauge Reads Empty?

Any known problems with '94 Ranger/B2300 gas gauges? I just got a '94 B2300, and gas gauge reads empty with the key ON, and about 1/4 tank with the key OFF. Was told by previous owner it occasionally works, but I've never seen it work. Am starting to procure manuals and dig around the truck myself, but don't want to re-solve the problem if it's a known one. Haven't seen mention on the net of it being a recurring problem, but just starting to dig.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2003 - Fuel Gauge Reads Empty Even After Filling?

Touareg :: V-10 2004 Mysteriously Loses Electrical Power - AMP Gauge Reads 0

Weird thing occasionally happens with my 2004 v-10 treg, every once in a while upon trying to turn on my turn indicator I notice that its not working... then i see that my dash lites are dimmer than usual, then i notice my amp gauge reads "O".... But once i stop and turn it off [sometimes repeatedly] the amp gauge reads back up to where it normally is at 14.

The first time this happened it was on the freeway and i drove 30 miles thinking it was gonna die before I got home. Once I got home and turned it off and restarted it, and it was fine. This all happens without an error message? I should also mention my keyless entry works now only a fraction of the time? What this could be? I got 160,000 miles on this very well maintained treg.

Touareg :: Key Battery Is Empty Alarm

On my display, I get a "Key Battery is Empty" alarm with a little key symbol that stays there as long as I am driving. I have replaced the battery...still the alarm. I have tried the other FOB...still the alarm. The thing is, the FOB works (I have the keyless start) so it seems to be a software issue but how do I reset it without venturing down to the dealer?

Touareg :: Gauge Shows Near Empty, Prior Fill Up

So I fill up today, 20plus gallons, the gauge shows near empty prior fill-up and after it is very very slow to show full. First I was confused and to make certain I filled again but the tank is full.. So, I guess a) the gauge is just slow to react or b) the sending unit called it quits or c)

Tiguan :: Speedometer Reads Less Than Actual Speed

I timed my Tiguan for ten miles with the cruise control at 60mph on the way home tonight. This is the first car I've had where the speedometer reads less than actual speed. Average speed was 62.36mph. It varied between 60 and 65 on a mile by mile basis, but I can't put my finger on what caused the variation. The speed limit is 65 on that stretch, and there are a couple hills, but I was lucky and avoided slowpokes that would have taken me out of cruise.

Ford - Explorer :: 1996 - Speedometer Mostly Always Reads 50 MPH

On my 96 explorer the speedo most always reads 50mph. It goes to this as soon as you take off. You can be doing 5mph or 75mph and the speedo goes to 50mph and stays there. Everything else on the instrument cluster works. Is there something I can replace on the speedo only or do i need to find a good used instrument cluster?

Prius C :: Speedometer Accuracy - Reads Faster Than Real Mph?

Our city has installed a number of auto-radar "you are traveling ___ mph" stations in the last couple years. While not the most accurate of devices, so far they seem to be reading me slower than my C speedometer says. Any other C drivers noticed this? I have the standard 15" steel wheels on my Two.
