Hi all ,
I'm new to the site so please forgive any breach in etiquette!
I am a new owner of a 205 STDT 1.8 XUD7T.
I am having trouble with the Fuel Gauge and the Rev Gauge .
The fuel gauge flickers wildly from full to half to empty quite randomly and sometimes seemingly is affected by acceleration.
I removed the fuel sender to check the plug and wires and all seemed good. I did find the sender covered in a very sticky greasy residue , most of which I managed to clean off and I could hear the float moving freely inside.
When I bought the car , the chap suggested that it was likely the “voltage stabiliser” on the clocks that may need to be replaced. I am
not familiar with this , where to find it and where to source a new one (the right one).
the Rev Gauge does not work at all and as yet I have not had the opportunity to delve into that quite yet.
I did also have an issue with the blower fan not working at all but with a bit of a clean up of the resistor it came back to life.
apart from that she is in fairly good condition .
any advice on the fuel gauge and Rev counter would be very much appreciated .
Thanks in advance
Adam
