Help with OBD

topman · 4th March 2011, 12:17

Having had a stuck fuel gauge, I used the OBD on test 6 I got;

6.0 _ _ 0106
6.1 ______
6.2 _ _ 0106

I'm thinking the left hand sensors gone. But I got 1 _ 6.2 which says it functioning. The fuel gauge was stuck on 3/8 for about 100m when I came to do the test, about an hour after, the gauge went back down under the 3/8 mark, but I still think it's a little high. Anyone with any other ideas?

Could try putting a little more fuel in the tank. May cure it.

Yeah I tried that, it did move but not by the right amount.

Section 6 covering the fuel tank senders is incorrect. The original documentation is from BMW and I believe that this particular section isn't applicable in it's entirety to the 75/ZT. Elements of it may be correct, such as whether the float is active or not, but it really requires someone (?) to do a thorough investigation.

Which version are you using?

Which source of the OBD routine are you using (Link?)
It doesn't really matter as far as Section/Test 6 is concerned cos it doesn't work, but there are other minor errors in some editions.

It's one I printed off ages ago, I think it was the one in the how to section.

I have the same problem! I just filled her up but the needle only got up to 3/4. I also checked through section 6 with the dash diagnostics but also came to the conclusion that it can't be correct...
