I've got a problem with my e34 525i where the fuel gauge is stuck on more or less empty, I've tried taking apart the sender unit and cleaning the resistance wires but no luck. I've also run the cluster test thing and the gauge itself fully moves during the test so think something may be up with the sender unit and thinking about getting a new one. There's a few from repco and supercheap but not sure if they'll actually fit (non oems) but the parts picker says they do. I've got a multi meter if there's any other diagnostics I can do to try narrow it down. Any recommendations on where to pick on up or things to test? In Auckland but don't mind getting one shipped

My fuel gauge starts off showing the correct level, then will suddenly jump to empty and occasionally then to full. It also returns to the correct level for a bit, before showing empty again. I thought it would be the usual suspect - drivers side fuel sensor - but I've taken that out, looked for broken and cracked wires, checked the resistor surface, run the float over it's operating range and checked the resistance -all OK. Then I did the same checks on the passenger side - also OK. The next step was to replace the instrument cluster (I needed one anyway) and the problem is still there. Any ideas? Jo
