E36 Compact Fuel Gauge

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Just bought an E36 compact as a runabout but have found the fuel gauge works intermittently. When I drove it this morning the gauge read correctly but shortly after it just went down to the rest position. The low fuel light isn't on. I chucked a multimeter on the sender units, one was 50ohms and the other 100. Is there anything else I can try before I replace the gauge cluster?

PS. Can you remove the cluster on a compact without removing the steering wheel?

Cheers guys

9 times out of 10 its the fuel sender unit

lift the right side fuel pump out and check and see if the wire is broken then resolder the broken wire on the fuel gauge part
