First Problem with E91 has happened !

sirees01 · 12-07-2005, 01:11 PM

Stopped to fill the car up with Diesel at a fuel station.
After filling her up & jumping back in the fuel gague only read half full.

Now it got me thinking did I fill it up all the way, I definately did as it took 50 ltrs.
After 5 mins driving the needle started creeping up to 3/4 where I guess by tomorrow it will be full.

I know it's only a minot fault & the car is booked in for next week, but I was hoping for a trouble free experience this time around.

I guess not

great car though.

Try to restart the car after fill up. I beleive it has a system to average display of fuel level, so it doesn't jump up or down while you drive.

there is a sticky something somewhere

Then, it's a level mechanism in the tank. You can drive with it and see if it gets better or take it to dealer.
